Steel truss design example pdf

The action of wind can be a type of suction or pressure to our structures both externally or internally. However these effects are more magnified for structure with more openings and large surface areas.

And we focus on sensitive part of the building that is roofs both hipped and flat roofs for analysis and design of its parts. COM flexible structures. Here, our analysis is based on Background resonant or Quasi- static gust load. It is critical for engineers to investigate dynamic coefficient for gust wind response as stipulated EBCS-1, section 3.

COM Area 1. COM Cpe COM 2. Roof covering [EGA sheet design] The roof system of this project is a truss roof system. The type of sheet used is EGA sheet and the trusses and purlins are steel. COM For the distributed load 2. For 1. Figure — Intermediate Post Cap Once the post caps are in place on both sides of the building, the truss can be set see Section Lifting Trusses6.

If the building has an overhang, the properly positioned post cap will ensure the correct overhang distance. A minimum of 4 purlins per side should be attached as each truss is set. Figure — First bay with trusses and purlins Place purlins in the purlin clips and secure them using the hardware provided. Lumber for purlins should be Fb MSR machine stress rated. To prevent this, slotted banding is provided and should be attached on each bay half-way between trusses as shown below.

Figure — Purlin Strapping detail Purlins strapping is intended to go from one fascia board to the other. Strapping should start at one fascia board, go across the peak, and down to the opposite fascia board.

Section 11 Bracing Each truss is built with a slot at eaves and an attachment post at peak for the cabling. At the peak, one end of the looped cable is secured to the post using the provided hardware. At the eaves, the other end of the looped cable with the eye bolt is fed through the slot in the truss and through the hillside washer. In such cases, both bays should be braced. Refer to drawings for which bays should be braced. End bays Braced No more than 3 typically bay. Figure — Plan showing typical X-bracing layout.

Note: Do not over-tighten X-bracing. This can cause purlins to buckle and throw the building out of square. V-bracing stabilizes the bottom chord of the truss by keeping it vertical. This bracing serves the same purpose as the lateral bracing used with wood trusses. V-bracing is provided as straight stock which is bent against the bottom chord of the truss at the location designated on the Truss Layout drawing.

Each side of the V-brace is attached to the purlin with 16d nails provided. The nails can be bent over on the back side of the purlin. Placement and spacing of V-bracing is specified in the drawings on the Truss Layout sheet. Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search.

The trusse are so closely spaced for buckling in the horizontal plane to be a issue. I diagree your reply. You are wrong. Buckling in the horizontal plane will clearly be an issue if wind load uplift is strong enough. You should not rely on such demonstration and contact a professional engineering office. I want to express my gratitude for your support.
