Hey everyone!
There's a possibility I have to design a large manufacturing building with external dimensions of approximately 141x182 m. It'll probably have RC or steel columns, steel trusses for roofs and metal deck on top of these trusses. The building also houses a lot of cranes, a few of them even with a span of 30 m and they travel on ~180 m long crane beams. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to provide expansions joint for this time of building?
