Steel Park Building

I’m doing my university graduation project, and I need to design a steel/composite parking building (Parkhaus) completely from scratch. I honestly have no idea where to begin.

Does anyone have recommendations for books, guides, or resources that could help me get started?

I’m especially struggling with:

How to start the layout and planning

Structural design for loads and load distribution Eurocodes

General workflow for designing a parking structure

Any advice or tips from people who’ve worked on similar projects would really help.

Hello, I’m a student working on analyzing a steel portal frame using structural software. I have a question about applying wind loads according to Eurocode.

When calculating the wind load, should I apply the different pressure values separately to their corresponding areas (based on the “e”calculation ), or is it acceptable to take the maximum value (for example, zone F) and apply it uniformly across the entire frame?

I’m not sure whether the correct approach is to model each zone individually or simplify it using the worst-case load. Any clarification would be appreciated.
