Pratt Truss Roof Design - 1

This document discusses the design of a Pratt truss roof for an industrial building using limit state design codes. It involves calculating the geometry, self-weight loads, imposed live loads, and wind loads on the 25m x 52m roof truss system. The truss is modeled in STAAD Pro to analyze deflections and different steel sections are assigned to the truss members. The maximum deflection of 0.004mm was found to be within permissible limits, indicating the truss design is structurally sound.

Pratt Truss Roof design for industrial applications

Using the IS 800 Code & Limit State Procedure

Abstract- Concrete Building required huge investment and vast time to construct making it difficult to finish in the
desired time, thus to overcome this situation steel frame roof called Trusses can be installed. Truss is a framework
consisting of steel frames and a bolt connected together. This paper discusses the study and construction of the 25 m span
roof truss. Consideration Limit State Process (IS 800:2007) for study and architecture. For load Calculations on truss, IS
875:2000 (part 1, 2, 3) is used as the Reference Code to ease out the calculations. Fixed supported condition is consider
here. Autodesk Robot and STAAD PRO v8i tools can assist in the design and study of the roof truss.

I. INTRODUCTION
Truss is fixed frame, member’s assembly such as stress member & tension member resulting in triangular assembly
formulation. Formation of assemble act as the whole single unit which distributed the loads into entire span.
Analysis of Trusses using conventional manual method is time taking and more complex as it consist of large
number members. Thus Software plays its crucial role in the analysis of truss.
There are various types of trusses uses in construction such as king, queen, hoes frank, Pratt etc. Pratt truss is used
for construction of roof structure in our study. Rolled Steel members used due to easily availability of steel in the
fabrication.

II. PROBLEM
2.1 Statement –
We need to design the Pratt roof truss used for roof of industrial project with dimension of 25 meter (B) x 52 meter
(L) with bay of 4 m each. Location of the proposed building in NCR zone. Permeability condition need to consider
as medium. Colored Steel profile sheet is used for roofing cover.
2.2. Geometry calculation:
-–
Consider a pitch, 1/6 of span.
Height of truss = 1 /6 x 25 = 4.166 m.
Spacing of truss = L/5 = 25/5 = 5 m.
Slope of top Chord = tan^ (-1) ⁡〖4.166/12.5〗 = 18.43°
Pitched Length of top chord=√ (〖12.5〗^2+〖4.166〗^2) = 13.175 m.
Distance between Purlins =13.175/4 = 3.29 m.
Pitched Area = (pitched length x truss spacing) x 2 = (13.175 x 5) x 2 = 131.75 m2
Plan Area = 25 x 5 = 125 m2

Figure 1. Geometry of truss

2.3. Different loading calculation -


2.3.1 Dead Load (DL)
Self-weight of CGI sheet = 150 N/m2
Self-weight of Purlin = 100 N/m2
a. Total self-weight of Purlin = 10x5x100 = 5000 N
b. Total self-weight of truss on Plan Area = 133.33 x 25 x 5 = 16666.25N
c. Total self-weight of truss CGI sheet & Wind Bracing on Pitched Area = (150+20) x 131.75 = 22397.5
N Total D.L = a.+ b.+c. = 5000 + 16666.25 + 22397.5 = 44063.75 N
Dead loads at every Panel Node = 44063.75/8 = 5508
N. Dead loads at Ends Nodes = 5508/2 = 2754 N.

Figure 2. Dead load at each panel points.

2.3.2 Live Load (LL)-


Imposed load on truss = 750- 20x (18.43-10) = 581.4 N/m2
Live load on the truss = .66 x imposed load x plane area = .66 x 581.4 x 125 = 48450
N. Live load on each panel points = (48450)/8 = 6056.25 N.
Live load on end panel points = 6056.25/2 = 3028 N.

Figure 3. Live load at each panel points.

2.3.2 Wind Load (LL)-


Design wind Speed (Vz) = Vb x K1 xK2 x K3 x K4.
Where Vb = basic wind speed = 47 m/s.
K1 = Probility factor
K2 = terrain/ height/ structure factor
K3 = Topograghy Factor , it is taken as unity.
K4 = Importance factor for cyclonic region.

Vz = 47 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1.
Vz = 47 m/sec.

Basic Wind Pressure = 0.6 (Vz)2 = 0.6 x (472)2 = 1325.4 N/m2


Wind Load (F) on Building = F=Pz x (Cpe ± Cpi)

Assuming Wind Normal to Ridge


Calculation are given below: -
Net pressure calculation: -

For windward side slope:-


Windward Leeward
-526 + 0.2x1325 = -261
side side
-400 – 0.2x 1325 = -135
10 -1.2 -0.4
For leeward side slope:- 18.43 -0.526 -0.4
-526 - 0.2x1325 = -791 20 -0.4 -0.4
-0.4 + 0.2x 1325 = -135

Assuming Wind parallel to Ridge


Calculation are given below:-
Windward Leeward
Net pressure calculation:-
side side
10 -0.8 -0.6
For leeward side slope:-
-0.6 + 0.2x1325 = -531 18.43 -0.715 -0.6
-0.715 – 0.2x 1325 = -1210 20 -0.4 -0.6
For windward side slope:-
-0.6 - 0.2x1.325 = -1060
-0.715 + 0.2x 1.325 = -135

Total wind force = Sloping Area x Intensity of load = 131.75 m2 x 1210 = 159417.5

N Wind load per panel points = = 19927 N.

Wind load per end points = = 9963.6 N.
