Abstract

The goal of the project is to select the most cost-effective truss for use in warehouses, workshops, light and medium engineering industries, and process industries. By doing this, a great deal of time will be saved in setting up an industry, leading to increased production. Indirectly, this would boost the nation's economy as a whole. Since it would largely relieve from the repetitive and routine calculations, this would also aid in the orderly use of structural engineering. Thus, the engineer's time could be better spent considering less expensive and more creative options. Ten pitched roof trusses in all are compared in this work. For a span of 12 m and an interval of 6 m, the analysis and design outcomes of steel roof trusses are presented. Double Howe, Double Fink, Fan, Fink, Pratt, Queen post, Fink-2, Multi panel, Attic, and Piggyback truss configurations are used. The provided roof truss slope of 180 is generally advised as it shouldn't present any fabrication issues. For wind zones I to VI, roof truss analysis is conducted. The relevant Indian standards have been used as the basis for the analysis and design. Trusses make use of box sections. A comparison is made between axial force, shear force, weight, and cost in members. Additionally, these trusses' axial and shear forces are contrasted. The outcome demonstrates that the Pratt truss is more cost-effective than other trusses taken into account. The Fink-2 type truss, on the other hand, is more expensive and heavier than other trusses.
