WHY STRUCTURAL CALCULATION IS IMPORTANT
As EVKON, in steel building projects, we professionally provide not only production and assembly, but also structural calculation services, which is one of the most critical steps of projects. These calculations we make during the project design phase for durable, safe, and long-lasting buildings place the entire load-bearing system of the structure on scientific foundations.
Structural calculation is an engineering analysis aimed at determining how the load-bearing system elements of a structure (columns, beams, roof trusses, connection elements, etc.) will behave under various loads. These analyses ensure that structures remain safe against natural effects such as earthquakes, wind, and snow loads. An accurately performed structural calculation guarantees both the performance and long-term use of the structure.
EVKON’s Structural Calculation Process
As EVKON, we follow an engineering process that will ensure both safety and cost-effectiveness in the structural calculation of steel structures. This process, carried out specifically for each project, consists of the following technical steps:
The engineering team within EVKON performs project-specific structural analyses. The steps used in this process are as follows:
Load analyses: Determination of all vertical and horizontal loads (live load, dead load, snow, wind, earthquake, etc.) to which the structure will be exposed.
Material selection and definition: The type, quality, and bearing capacities of the steel profiles from which the structure will be manufactured are determined.
Modeling and analysis: 3D modeling is performed with SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD or similar engineering software, and behaviors of all elements such as stress, moment, and deflection are analyzed.
Compliance with regulations: Design is made according to national and international standards such as the Turkish Earthquake Code (TDY/TBDY), Eurocode, and AISC.
Reporting: All analyses and results are prepared as a detailed report and integrated into the project. If necessary, technical report presentation suitable for municipal approval processes is made.
Why Should You Work with EVKON?
As EVKON, we not only produce structures; we offer our customers safe, aesthetic, long-lasting living and working spaces that fully meet their needs. With more than 10 years of experience in the prefabricated and steel structure sector, we produce solutions based on engineering principles. In every project, we have adopted the principle of understanding our customer's expectations, bringing them together with technical requirements, and acting in a result-oriented manner. This approach makes us not only a building manufacturer, but also a consultant, solution partner, and companion.
One of the most important elements that makes EVKON different is that we work in a transparent, planned, and systematic manner at every stage of the project process. Starting from the initial site inspection, all processes from architectural design, structural calculation, production, assembly to delivery progress under the control of our engineers, in accordance with standards and in a documentable manner. All materials we use have TSE and international quality certificates. Our structures offer not only fast installation, but also long-term advantages such as energy efficiency, insulation quality, and ease of maintenance.
The experience we have gained with our numerous reference projects in Turkey and abroad enables us to add value to every new job. We keep customer satisfaction at the highest level with custom-tailored design, on-time delivery, on-site problem-solving capability, and after-sales support services. When you work with EVKON, you do not just own a building; you also entrust your project to the safe hands of an expert team.
We Add Strength to Your Steel Building Projects
Whether it is a small-scale warehouse structure or a large-volume industrial facility; accurate, scientific, and engineering-compliant structural calculations form the basis of every project. These calculations aim to create a safe load-bearing system by considering all the loads the structure may be exposed to (wind, snow, earthquake, usage loads, etc.). Elements such as the function of the structure, soil structure, material selection, and geographical location are also taken into account in these calculations. As EVKON, we consider this process not only as a technical requirement, but as one of the most critical steps for the structure to be long-lasting, safe, and sustainable.
EVKON’s experienced engineering staff meticulously plans, calculates, and supports the static design of the structure with models from the beginning of the project. While the software and analysis tools used comply with national and international standards, the results obtained are shared in an integrated manner with the production and assembly teams. In this way, the structure is transferred completely from theory to the field. While our structural calculation process is customized according to customer requests, building safety is never compromised. As a company that knows strong calculations are essential for a strong structure, EVKON approaches every project with this responsibility.
