Truss pdf download

Secondary stresses can be avoided by ensuring that the centroidal axes of all intersecting members meet at a single point, in both vertical and horizontal planes. However, this is not always possible, for example when cross girders are deeper than the bottom chord then bracing members can be attached to only one flange of the chords.

The span to depth ratio of a truss girder bridge producing the greatest economy of material is that which makes the weight of chord members nearly equal to the weight of web members of truss.

It will be in the region of 10, being greater for road traffic than for rail traffic. Santha Kumar , also prescribes same value for highway and railway bridges. As per bridge rules published by Railway board, the depth should not be greater than three times width between centres of main girders. The spacing between main truss depends upon the railway or road way clearances required.

The ideal compression chord will be one that has a section with radii of gyration such that the slenderness value is same in both planes. In other words, the member is just likely to buckle in plane or out of plane. These members should be kept as short as possible and consideration is given to additional bracing, if economical.

The effective length factors for truss members in compression may be determined by stability analysis. In the absence of detailed analysis one can follow the recommendations given in respective codes. The depth of the member needs to be chosen so that the plate dimensions are reasonable. If they are too thick, the radius of gyration will be smaller than it would be if the same area of steel is used to form a larger member using thinner plates.

The plates should be as thin as possible without losing too much area when the effective section is derived and without becoming vulnerable to local buckling. Common cross sections used for chord members are shown in Fig. Trusses with spans up to m often have open section compression chords.

Santha Kumar achieving direct connection between member thus minimising or avoiding the need for gussets. However, packing may be needed in this case. For trusses with spans greater than about m, the chords will be usually the box shaped such that the ideal disposition of material to be made from both economic and maintenance view points. For shorter spans, rolled sections or rolled hollow sections may be used.

For detailed design of compression chord members the reader is referred to the chapter on Design of axially compressed columns. The width out-of-plane of the truss should be the same as that of the verticals and diagonals so that simple lapping gussets can be provided without the need for packing. This means that fracture at the net section will not govern for common steel grades.

Basic wind speed Vb : The basic wind speed for our project site in Butwal is referenced form the Indian City nearest to it, which is Gorakhpur.

K2 terrain, height and structure size factor : Only the terrain category and structure class obtained from structure size factor is needed. The structure class is B The terrain Category is Category 2 4.

Conclusion The truss designed for the space of m2, in Butwal, in an industrial area was designed as a Kingpost truss. The obtained dimensions of the truss structure are written above.
