About the job

I need a concise, engineer-ready lookup table that lets me select pre-engineered portal web trusses (RHS, parallel-chord) without revisiting the design later in the formal certification phase. The table must cover clear spans of 15-20 m, 25-30 m, 30-35 m, and 35-40 m, all assuming 6 m spacing between portal frames and the most onerous loading case—wind and solar panel actions—so I can adopt the numbers with confidence in exposed regional projects. This is to suit Australian conditions and AS4100 requirments. For every span band I expect: • Optimised steel member sizes (top chord, bottom chord and web members) that satisfy AS 4100 strength and serviceability limits • Recommended truss depth and preferred web configuration • Mid-span splice/bolted connection geometry and plate/bolt schedule • Connection detailing to a UC portal column, including bracket or cleat dimensions and welding/bolting specs • Any governing calculations or design notes that justify the selections Please compile everything in a clear Excel workbook (one worksheet per span group) and back it up with a brief PDF summary of the key calculation snapshots or software output. I need the package ASAP, so let me know your realistic turnaround and the software you intend to use (SpaceGass, Microstran, Strand7, RFEM, IDEA StatiCa, or similar). A quick iterative check with me before you finalise the numbers will help us hit the ground running.
