Overview
Project background
Agility, the global logistics operator, commissioned a logistics-zone facility in the Suez Canal Economic Zone at Sokhna. The development required several support buildings, including a residence building (مبنى السكن) for on-site staff, designed with a steel structural frame on reinforced concrete pad foundations.
Working through CPAS Engineering Consultancy as the structural consultant, BIMLEED delivered the full structural engineering package — from initial 3D modeling and load analysis in SAP2000, to footing design in Tekla Tedds, connection verification in IDEA StatiCa, and final shop drawings ready for fabrication and erection. All design followed AISC 360-16 (steel) and ACI 318-14 (concrete).
Project components
What we designed
01 SAP2000 3D Model
Full 3D structural model with frame elements, supports, mass sources, and section assignments for the entire building.
02 Load Analysis
Dead, live, sandwich panel, deck slab, wind, and seismic load patterns applied per code with 16+ load combinations.
03 Member Design
Steel beams (IPE270, IPE240), columns (built-up 250×600), and ZZ purlins (ZZ180-2-30-70) sized per AISC 360-16.
04 Foundation Design
Isolated pad footings over plain concrete, designed using Tekla Tedds with 10T16 reinforcement top and bottom.
05 Connection Design
Bolted and welded connections verified using IDEA StatiCa for tension, shear, and bearing per AISC 360-16 J3.
06 Anchor & Base Plate Design
Anchor bolt design with concrete breakout checks per ACI 318-14 & 17.4.2 — embedment depth, edge distance, and group action verified.
07 Drift & Serviceability
Horizontal drift checks at +4.00 level under service load combinations to verify within code-permitted limits.
08 Shop Drawings
Full Tekla steel model and full fabrication package
