Project Overview
Lambda Engineering was engaged to provide full structural design and detailing for a two-story composite structure located in a high-altitude, snow-load zone of Northern Pakistan. The building was engineered to withstand extreme climatic conditions, including heavy snowfall, sub-zero temperatures, and high wind pressures, while maintaining efficient constructability and insulation performance.
Design & Engineering Features
Structural System: Hybrid frame structure combining reinforced concrete columns/beams with light-gauge steel roof trusses and wall framing.
Roof Type: Steep-pitch gable roof with corrugated metal sheeting for rapid snow shedding and minimal accumulation.
Load Design: Snow load intensity up to 2.5 kN/m², analyzed using regional meteorological data.
Envelope: Insulated wall system with vapor barrier and double-layer cladding to prevent condensation and heat loss.
Connections: Bolted gusset-plate and cleat connections detailed for fast assembly in sub-zero conditions.
Foundations: Deep-set concrete footings designed for frost depth and soil heave resistance.
Thermal Detailing: Continuous insulation and roof venting incorporated for heat retention and attic ventilation.
Engineering Highlights
Designed per ACI 318-19, AISC 360-16, and ASCE 7-16 (snow & wind).
Finite-element roof analysis ensured load sharing between purlins and truss nodes.
Fabrication drawings optimized for local steel workshop capabilities.
Outcome
A structurally robust, energy-efficient facility capable of year-round performance in alpine conditions—showcasing Lambda’s adaptability in designing for challenging environments.
