Explore the technical documents behind MkaPEB’s engineering workflow, from supported functionality and code-compliant design logic to design assumptions and verification examples that support transparent, reliable structural design.
This document introduces the main functionality of MkaPEB, including supported structural systems, cranes, mezzanines, jack beams, automatic loading, code-compliant design logic, and the role of MkaPEB-AI in finding efficient fully compliant solutions.
This document explains the engineering assumptions behind MkaPEB analysis and design, including cold-formed purlins and girts, overlap strength, lateral-torsional buckling, bracing assumptions, truss modeling, expansion gaps, tension-only bracing, wind load calculation, and diaphragm behavior.
This document presents verification examples for automatic loading, structural analysis, and structural analysis/design. It helps engineers compare MkaPEB results with recognized code examples, benchmark cases, and independent engineering expectations.
The Technical Overview gives engineers a clear view of how the software addresses real single-storey steel-structure design challenges. It covers structural modeling, automatic code-compliant loading, compliance checks, member design, and the design logic behind an efficient engineering workflow.
Some designs may appear lighter simply because code-required cases or checks are omitted. Those solutions are not directly comparable to a fully compliant design. The technical overview explains how MkaPEB-AI focuses on practical optimization while respecting the full design rule set.
In pre-engineered building design, assumptions play a critical role in ensuring that structural analysis and design are both accurate and reliable. The Design Assumptions document highlights the key engineering considerations, methodologies, and simplifications applied when MkaPEB analyzes and designs single-storey steel structures.
MkaPEB goes beyond standard calculation routines by incorporating modern design practices, code-based checks, and advanced structural modeling techniques. The purpose is not only to calculate member forces and capacities, but also to make the underlying engineering logic understandable to the engineer.
By transparently presenting these assumptions, MkaPEB helps engineers understand how the software interprets structural behavior and how project-specific settings affect the final design. Users can rely on automated checks while retaining control over parameters that require engineering judgment.
At MkaPEB, verification is treated as a core engineering responsibility. Even the most advanced structural analysis and design software should be checked against recognized references, code examples, and independent calculations.
The Verification document shows how MkaPEB calculations align with international codes, including Eurocode and ASCE, as well as benchmark examples. Through practical comparison cases, engineers can evaluate the accuracy, consistency, and robustness of MkaPEB across multiple structural types and loading scenarios.
These resources give engineers, clients, and reviewers a clear starting point for understanding the logic, assumptions, and verification philosophy behind MkaPEB.
