Effect of Different Steel Sections on Design of Roof Truss
Abstract: Roof trusses, which are structural components of houses or commercial buildings, support the weight of roof purlins and coverings. Roof truss is mainly used in parking sheds, industrial buildings, warehouses etc. In present study, a comparison is made out between the mass of truss using steel single angle, double angle, tubular and pipe sections. Truss span chosen is 10 m with recommended rise of 2 m. The wind zone, permeability, …

Optimization of Pitched Roof Steel Trusses for Different Conditions by uses of EXCELL and STADD Programming
Abstract: Present study analyse the different trusses of pitched roofwith different shapes and different spans under similar loading conditions. Four type trusses namely, Pratt, Howe, Fan and Fink trusses with spans equals to 8 m, 10 m, 12 m, 14 m, 16 m and 18 m were considered. The different trusses are analysed and designed by EXCELL and STAAD programming for similar loading conditions. Output file of STAAD software used in …

Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Optimizing Polyhouse Roof Truss Design
Abstract: Polyhouses are specialised agricultural structures developed to maintain controlled environmental conditions for crop cultivation, thereby ensuring consistent productivity even under adverse climatic circumstances. The performance of these systems largely relies on the structural stability and cost efficiency of the roof truss, which must achieve an effective balance between strength, adaptability, and economy. In this research, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based modelling framework is introduced to optimise the members of polyhouse …

Analysis and Design of Pre-Engineering Building Structure by Using Staad Pro Software
Abstract: The analysis and design of a Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) were conducted using STAAD Pro software, alongside manual calculations for accurate load estimation, to ensure the building's compliance with relevant engineering standards and codes. The evaluation took into account multiple load types, including dead loads, live (imposed) loads, wind loads, and relevant load combinations to replicate actual conditions the structure might face during its lifespan. This comprehensive approach provided a deep …

Steel Ductile Detailing of Moment Resisting Frames for Pre-engineered Buildings
Abstract: Long span structures with no interrupting column are necessary in any type of industrial structures and pre-engineered buildings (PEB) satisfies this need along with less time and cost as compared to conventional structures. This methodology is adaptable not only due to its quality pre-designing and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction. The concept includes the technique of providing the best possible section according to the …
