Technical Solution The project regards a steel, one aisled, hall with an arched roof. There are 6 bearing frames in the longitudinal module (9,00 m). The front columns are symmetrical ones with an in-between distance of 4,50 m. The eaves are situated in the height (+8,725 m). The frame cross bar has a polygonal shape and the rise of the arch is 2,125 m. The structure is seated on level -0,30 m, it is fastened by anchoring bolts. The static system of the structure is a hinged supported arch frame. The wind bracing consists of 2 crossed diagonals in penultimate bay. The steel tube bar is used on the level +3,350 m to decrease the columns buckling lengths. The bearing structure consists of welded I profile elements, all bolted together. The steel grade S355 is used. The flange of the I profiles has a thickness of 6 mm and is equipped with stiffeners. The webs of the I profiles have different thicknesses, that is 10 or 20 mms, and different widths according to the inner forces course. METSEC system profiles are used for the secondary structure (purlins and spandrel beams) as well as thinwalled bend profiles.
