Name of building location : Airbus Industrial Hall in Toulouse, France
Year of completion: The 2011-2014 phased delivery of the halls
Contract value: The total building cost was €68m euro excluding tools.
Long-span structure system adopted: The wing-lifting cranes roll on rails suspended on the truss of theframe of the roof.sliding doors provide a 117 x 32 m² opening.
They are supported by their own structural frame. This huge
structure was designed and installed economically using fabricated
sections and a trussed upper beam.
Building use: Steel construction provides efficient long span and low weight structural frame
for large industrial halls that will produce the next generation A380 Airbus
aeroplane for intercontinental flights.
Key dimension and size including max:This industrial building covers 200,000 m of floor space, is 45 m high and²provides spans of more than 115 m.Criteria to be met were efficient space
occupancy and flexibility in arrangement of the internal space.
Due to the expected change in the industrial process after several years of
production, a reconfiguration/refurbishing approach design was considered,
taking count of rapid financial return. Architectural and structural appearance
were intended to be an attractive reflection of the company performance.
The largest hall, which is 115 m long by 250 m wide, is equipped
with the following heavy cranes:
Two parallel industrial rolling cranes,50 m span, 22 tonnes
capacity for lifting of the wings.
Two parallel industrial rolling cranes, 35 m span, 30 tonnes
capacity for fuselage transportation. Two dual loads 2 x 4
suspended cranes for normal service.
Span roof covering/finishing adopted the roofs are designed:
Construction Details Roof and roof trusses
The roof trusses span 117 m. The height of the trusses varies from 8
m at the supports up to 13.5 m at mid span. The main roof elements
are composed of two parallel truss frames of 33 m span along the
building and made of rectangular hollow steel sections.
Each roof element comprises a pair of front and rear trusses, roof
structure, roof service equipments, fire safety network, etc., and
when completed at ground level is lifted and positioned at the top
of the columns in one piece. Columns are rigidly fixed to the ground
and have equal slenderness ratio in each direction to avoid any
horizontal buckling phenomenon during lifting operations.
Assembly of the trusses at ground level has the advantage of
achieving safe construction, limited use of scaffolding, a simple
operation and fast construction process. The joints between the
truss elements and the top of the columns are pinned.
This simple method provides the following advantages:
Rapid connection operations in a critical erection phase.
No welding operation during assembly.
The truss upper flange element is connected and simply sits on
a short span beam on top of the column.
The vertical deflection of the trusses was limited to span/2000 due
to crane operation requirements.
The elements of the main truss spanning across the building were I
shape fabricated sections and bolted on joints. Each column was made
of two separate fabricated sections jointed by a continuous truss
web.

There are have several types of application Benefits:
Fast track construction
Efficient use of steel components
Flexibility of space organisation
Sustainable design approach
High crane facilities

Name of building location : Air Cargo hub at East MidlandsAirport, UK
Year of completion: There Opening airport to passenger since april 1965
and started from 1993 has extension to there opened for cargo, and started 2000
there running the cargo facilities.
Contract value: The total building cost was 45 million Euros. Opened a new £35m cargo facility on site.
Building use:
DHL has operated at Nottingham East Midlands Airport in the UK for
25 years. With business volume increasing, the existing ‘hub’ was
unable to cope and a new major facility was designed, capable of
handling shipping volumes of over 1,000 tonnes per year. The 40,000
m2 facility comprises two distinct parts: a warehouse distribution
area and office area, for this office area has provides 9,000 m2 of
additional space for 650 staff and also is 3 storeys high.
Long-span structure system adopted and key dimension and size including max :
A new distribution warehouse and office has been built for DHL at
Nottingham’s East Midlands Airport. The warehouse is constructed
from a double bay steel portal frame that is adopted with spans of
40 m and the offices use 18 m span cellular beams. The distribution
area uses a structural grid that was dictated by the modular
mechanical handling system and allowed for future expansion. The
mechanical handling system was placed on a mezzanine level which was
constructed after the building envelope had been completed
Span roof covering/finishing adopted the roofs are designed: Based on the span of floor area, the predicted lifespan in its
current format was only 15 years. Because of those, Cellular beams
is a chosen to provide services integration through the 600 mm
diameter openings. The design of the office area was further
complicated by the need to span over a service road, which
necessitated supporting the floors from a long span truss of roof
level. The open sided canopy was also problematical, being 22.5 m
span and 45m wide between supports. The canopy projected at 45O and
was connected to the portal frame structure for its stability. The
roof of the office comprised curved steel beams of 150 m radius.

There are have several types of application Benefits:
Simple portal frame solution provides efficient use of space
Mezzanine floor using cellular beams supports handling equipment
3 storey office uses 18 m span cellular beams
18 aircraft stands provided 30 truck bays below a 22.5 m span canopy
