Arcitc Module Design

Currently working on the structural design of a module which will be transported by truck to the North Slope of Alaska. The design was carried out with the clients specifications which require the use of ASCE 7 for design loads. In addition to ASCE 7 the client specified frost jacking and adfreeze strength from permafrost for the vertical support members. Additional considerations into snow drift loadings were carried out as well as windward and leeward wind forces on the structure. Point loads were added for valve and piping dead loads.
