Steel-wood frame structure with a hybrid cross-beam system

Design of a shed structure, initially conceived as a steel structure, and subsequently modified, is described. The modifications concern replacement of the frame cross beam by a hybrid system, and introduction of laminated wood into a part of the structure. Detailed analyses and numerical models derived by means of the STAAD and COSMOSM software are presented. The structure derived according to numerical analyses presented in this paper is much more favourable, rational and elegant, when compared with the initially designed structure.
