INTRODUCTION
2.2. Scope
The main scope of this project is to apply class room knowledge in the real world by designing a roofed building. These building require large and clear areas unobstructed by the columns. The large floor area provides sufficient flexibility and facility for later change in the production layout without major building alterations. The industrial buildings are constructed with adequate headroom for the use of an overhead traveling crane.
2.3. General
Steel-framed buildings are commonly in use for industrial purposes. They are classified into three broad categories: Warehouse and factory buildings. Large span storage buildings. Heavy industrial process plant structures. In the design of industrial buildings, load conditions and geometrical factors will dictate the degree of complication and hence the economy. The designer should possess good knowledge about the industrial process or purpose for which the building is intended. In this way, an optimum balance between safety, function and economy can be achieved. The main dimensions of an industrial building are usually determined from a combination of functional and design considerations. Its width is derived first from an owners study of the space required to carry out the processing or storage operations. The designer then needs to consider whether this width can be provided economically by a single clear span, or whether multi-bay spans are feasible. Likewise the overall length is usually readily determined by the owner, but the designer should give thought to the optimum bay length. Some of the factors affecting the choice are: Foundation conditions and their ability to accept the column loads. Crane runway girder considerations Purlin and girt capacities Masonry bond dimensions. Tilt-up concrete panel size and available carnage. The building height is again a functional consideration, for buildings with overhead travelling Cranes the critical dimension is the clearance required under the hook. In Hyderabad, there is no snow and therefore fairly low roof pitches are practicable. The steeper the slope the better the structural action, but this benefit is usually outweighed by additional sheeting costs. In practice,
roof pitches between 5 and 10 are preferred. These pitches are suitable for any of the continuous length steel sheet roofing profiles, some of which are adequate for pitches down to 1.
The horizontal and vertical bracings, employed in single and multi-storey buildings, are also trusses used primarily to resist wind and other lateral loads. These bracings minimize the differential deflection between the different frames due to crane surge in industrial buildings. They also provide lateral support to columns in small and tall buildings, thus increasing the buckling strength. Floors Different types of floor are required in any factory from their use consideration such as production, workshop, stores, amenities, and administration. The service condition will vary widely in these areas, so different floors types are required. Industrial floors shall have sufficient resistance to abrasion, impact, acid action and temperatures depending on the type of activity carried out. High strength and high performance concretes can satisfy most of these requirements economically and is the most common material used. Foundation for vibrating machinery (such as reciprocating and high speed rotating machinery) should be placed upon rock or firm ground and it should be separated from adjacent floor to avoid vibrations. Roof System While planning a roof, designer should look for following quality lightness, strength, water proofness, insulation, fire resistance, cost, durability and low maintenance charges. Sheeting, purlin and supporting roof trusses supported on column provide common structural roof system for industrial buildings. The type of roof covering, its insulating value, acoustical properties, the appearance from inner side, the weight and the maintenance are the various factors, which are given consideration while designing the roof system. Brittle sheeting such as asbestos, corrugated and trafford cement sheets or ductile sheeting such as galvanized iron corrugated or profiled sheets are used as the roof covering material. The deflection limits for purlins and truss depend on the type of sheeting. For brittle sheeting small deflection values are prescribed in the code. Lighting Industrial operations can be carried on most efficiently when adequate illumination is provided. The requirements of good lighting are its intensity and uniformity. Since natural light is free, it is economical and wise to use daylight most satisfactory for illumination in industrial plants whenever practicable. Side windows are of much value in lighting the interiors of small buildings but they are not much effective in case of large buildings. In case of large buildings monitors are useful (Fig. 2.2.). Ventilation Ventilation of industrial buildings is also important. Ventilation will be used for removal of heat, elimination of dust, used air and its replacement by clean fresh air. It can be done by means of natural forces such as aeration or by mechanical equipment such as fans. The large height of the roof may be used advantageously by providing low level inlets and high level outlets for air.

Wind load Wind load on the roof trusses, unless the roof slope is too high, would be usually uplift force perpendicular to the roof, due to suction effect of the wind blowing over the roof. Hence the wind load on roof truss usually acts opposite to the gravity load, and its magnitude can be larger than gravity loads, causing reversal of forces in truss members. Earthquake load Since earthquake load on a building depends on the mass of the building, earthquake loads usually do not govern the design of light industrial steel buildings. Wind loads usually govern. However, in the case of industrial buildings with a large mass located at the roof or upper floors, the earthquake load may govern the design. These loads are calculated as per IS: 1893-2002.
3.4.
Representative truss
A representative truss of span 52m is selected and designed as per the reqirement. The shape of the roof truss is chosen to be arc of a circle for two reasons: The economy of an arched truss lies in the fact that the principal compression members follow approximately the line of greatest strain, so that the bracing can be made very light. The effect of wind loads on the truss can be reduced if we use a parabolic arch over pitched truss with low elevation. A picture of the building assumed is presented in the Fig. 3.1.

7.1. Loads
Structural loads or actions are forces, deformations or accelerations applied to a structure or its components. Loads cause stresses, deformations and displacements in structures. Assessment of their effects is carried out by the methods of structural analysis. Excess load or overloading may cause structural failure, and hence such possibility should be either considered in the design or strictly controlled. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection. Building codes require that structures be designed and built to safely resist all actions that they are likely to face during their service life, while remaining fit for use. Minimum loads or actions are specified in these building codes for types of structures, geographic locations, usage and materials of construction. Structural loads are split into categories by their originating cause. Of course, in terms of the actual load on a structure, there is no difference between dead or live loading, but the split occurs for use in safety calculations or ease of analysis on complex models as follows. To meet the requirement that design strength be higher than maximum loads, Building codes prescribe that, for structural design, loads are increased by load factors. These factors are, roughly, a ratio of the theoretical design strength to the maximum load expected in service. They are developed to help achieve the desired level of reliability of a structure based on probabilistic studies that take into account the load's originating cause, recurrence, distribution, and static or dynamic nature.
26
Dead loads are permanent loads that do not change in the structures life. They are, Self-weight of the structure Material incorporated into the structure: walls, floors, roofs, ceilings and permanent constructions Permanent equipments: fixtures, fittings, electrical wiring, plumbing tubes, ducted air system. Partitions, fixed and movable Stored materials When there is significant design change, dead loads should be reassessed and followed by a fresh structural analysis. Calculation of Dead loads is done as follows: Dead load of component= unit weight of the component x volume of the component Unit weight of various components are calculated from IS: 875 (part1).

Uniformly distributed loads The uniformly distributed loads are applied to portions of the structure that is likely to see a fairly uniform distribution of items over large areas (areas the size of a single room or larger). Where the live load Q varies from one span (or room) to another, to account for the most adverse load cases, analysis is carried out for Factored live load on all spans Factored live load on two adjacent spans Factored live load on alternate spans The uniformly distributed loads are calculated over the slabs, used for storage of material for floors, is calculated from Table 1 of IS: 875(part 2) as 2.4 / for each metre of storage height. Total imposed load on the floor of building = 2.4 x height of storage

normal to the ridges, the wind drag is equal to 0.05p measured on plan area of roof and when the direction of wind parallel to the ridge, wind drag is equal to 0.025p measured on plan area of roof. Table. 7.1. Wind loads on roofs
In the multispan roofs with spans, heights and slopes nearly equal, the windward truss gives shelter to the other trusses. For general stability calculations and for the design columns, the windward slope of wind-ward span and leeward slope of leeward span are subjected to the full normal pressure of suction as given in table. 7.1. and on all other roof slopes, only wind drag is considered (see Fig. 7.3.). For the design of roof Fig. 7.3. Wind drag trusses, however, full normal pressure or suction is considered on both faces, presuming that there was only one span. The wind pressures given above are the average pressures on a roof slope. For designing the roof sheeting or the fastenings of roof sheeting, we may take a larger wind pressure because these pressures may considerably exceed the average value on small areas. For designing roof sheeting and its fastenings, the values given in Table 7.1 may be increased numerically by 0.3p. In a distance equal to 15% of the length of the roof from the gable ends, fastenings should be capable of resisting a section of 2.0p on the area of the roof sheeting them support.

Z = Zone factor corresponding to the seismic zone obtained from a map I = Importance factor, R = Response reduction factor, = Spectral Acceleration Coefficient Table 7.2. Zone Factor Z III IV Moderate Severe 0.16 0.24

For industries using hazardous materials and fragile products the importance factor may be taken as 1.5 but for most industries it may be taken as 1.0. The Response reduction factor R may be taken as 4 for buildings where special detailing as per section 12 of IS 800 has not been followed.
The natural time period T is very important and should be calculated correctly. For single storey structures, it may be taken as T = 2(k/m) where k is the lateral (horizontal) stiffness of the supporting structure and m is the mass of the roof usually taken as the sum of the roof dead load plus 50% of the live load divided by the acceleration due to gravity g. Guidelines for calculating k in some simple cases are given in Fig. 7.5. Finally, the acceleration ratio Sa/g can be obtained from the graph corresponding to the soil type as shown in Fig. 7.6. In this figure, medium soil corresponds to stiff clay or sand and soft soil corresponds to loose clay and loamy soils.

for three different grades of concrete and three different grades of steel are
given in IS 456-2000. The value of b shall be taken as one meter. The total depth of slab shall then be determined adding appropriate nominal cover (table 16 and 16a of clause 24.6 of is: 456-2000) and half of the diameter of larger bar if different size bars are provided. Normally, the calculated depth comes out to be much less then assumed depth. However the final selection of depth of slab must be done only after checking for shear. Step 4: Depth of the slab for shear force Theoretically, the depth of the slab can be checked for shear force if the design shear strength of concrete is known. Since this depends upon the percentage of tensile reinforcement, the design shear strength shall be assumed considering the lowest percentage of steel. The value of c shall be modified after knowing the multiplying factor k from the depth tentatively selected for the slab in Step 3. If necessary, the depth of the slab shall be modified. Step 5: Determination of areas of steel Area of steel reinforcement along the direction of one-way slab should be determined employing Eq
38
The above equation is applicable as the slab in most of the cases is under-reinforced due to the selection of depth larger than the computed value in Step 3. The area of steel so determined should be checked whether it is at least the minimum area of steel as mentioned in cl.26.5.2.1 of IS 456. Alternatively, tables and charts of SP-16 may be used to determine the depth of the slab and the corresponding area of steel. Tables 5 to 44 of SP-16 covering a wide range of grades of concrete and Chart 90 shall be used for determining the depth and reinforcement of slabs. Tables of SP-16 take into consideration of maximum diameter of bars not exceeding one-eighth the depth of the slab. Zeros at the top right hand corner of these tables indicate the region where the percentage of reinforcement would exceed p . Similarly, zeros at the lower left and corner indicate the region
t,lim
where the reinforcement is less than the minimum stipulated in the code. Therefore, no separate checking is needed for the allowable maximum diameter of the bars or the computed area of steel exceeding the minimum area of steel while using tables and charts of SP-16. The amount of steel reinforcement along the large span shall be the minimum amount of steel as per cl.26.5.2.1 of IS 456. Step 6: Selection of diameters and spacings of reinforcing bars (cls.26.5.2.2 and 26.3.3 of IS 456) The diameter and spacing of bars are to be determined as per cls.26.5.2.2 and 26.3.3 of IS 456. As mentioned in Step 5, this step may be avoided when using the tables and CHARTS OF SP-16.

CHAPTER 10
DESIGN OF FOOTINGS
40
Having thus determined the size of the footings, its structural design is carried out by using factored loads and principles of limit state design s already discussed in the case of other R.C members. The main items to be designed are the thickness of the footing and its reinforcement. The thickness should be sufficient to Resist shear force without shear steel and the bending moment without compression steel Give the structure the required structural rigidity so that foundation reaction below can be assumed(see sections 22.4 and 22.5) Withstand the corrosion that can be caused from the ground. (This minimum cover is required not less than 40mm when it is cast against a layer of building concrete of 75to 80mm thickness.) It is also important to remember that the percentage of steel provided should not be less than 0.15 for Fe 250 and 0.12 for Fe 415 steels as specified for slabs in IS 456; clause 22.5.2.1 Design Principles: Footings shall be designed to sustain the applied loads, moments and forces and safe bearing capacity is not to exceeded, vide clause 34.1 In R.C.C. footing, the thickness at the edge shall not be less than 150 mm for footings on soils. Vide clause 34.12 The greater B.M to be used in the design of an isolated concrete footing which support a column, pedestal or wall shall be computed in the manner prescribed in clause 34.2.3.1(a) The critical section for diagonal cracking is taken at a distance equal to effective depth from the face of the column in hard soil vide clause 34.2.4.3(a) and shall not exceed nominal shear stress.

41
Load on footing Pu Moment arrived from analysis Mu Factored moment 1.5 X 1.714 Axial load on the column Weight of foundation at 10% of column load Total load bearing capacity of soil
The dimensions of footing in plan must be such that the projections of beyond the column faces are equal. Let The length of the footing be L, The width of the footing be B, a = 650/400 = 1.625 hence, 1.625B = 2m2
hence, B = 1.23 m say 1.25m L = 2m Provide size of footing Stress on the footing I = = y = 2 m x 1.25 m =

Provide 7 No.s of 20 mm dia bars at a spacing of 140 mm c/c distance, and provide one more bar of 20 mm diameter at each end.
Check for two way shear As per IS 456-2000, the critical section for two way shear at a distance of d 2 from the face of the column. Taking a section at d/2 around column, we get V= P x [A-(a+d) x (b+d)] = 284 x [2-(0.65+0.15) x (0.4+0.15)] = 443 KN. Nominal shear stress =

DETAILS OF CONNECTIONS

47
Large joint eccentricities should be modelled in the analysis at design stage. In some instances it may be appropriate to consider the effects of smaller eccentricities and/or the effects of local joint flexibilities on member and joint loads. Requirements for modelling of joint eccentricities and procedures for the inclusion of joint eccentricity effects on local joint flexibilities need careful consideration. In overlapping joints there is a transfer of load between brace members through their common weld and it is essential to recognise these transfer components to avoid incorrect and possible unsafe estimation of the total load resisted by the chord. These transfer components are dependent on the joint geometry and configuration and on the type and magnitude of incoming brace loads. Accordingly, each overlapping joint should be treated on an individual basis. Design acting loads for each load component should be taken as: Pd, Mdi, Mdo = calculated applied load
48
tensile (e.g. at a skirt pile connection), even an X classification may be unsafe due to the increased ovalising effect. 11.1.4. Factors affecting the strength of a tubular joint The following principal factors have been shown to affect the strength of a given simple tubular joint: Chord outside diameter (D) Brace outside diameter (d) Chord wall thickness (T) The included angle between chord and brace (q) Gap between braces (for K joints only) (g) Chord material yield stress (Fy) The static strength of a joint may be enhanced by the presence of ring and longitudinal stiffeners, gussets or cementitious filling (e.g. grouting). Comprehensive design formulae are not available for all cases and special consideration should be given to such joints.

50
11.1.5. Characteristic strength of joints The characteristic strength of a welded tubular joint subjected to unidirectional loading may be derived as follows: Where, Pk = characteristic strength for brace axial load Mki = characteristic strength for brace in-plane moment load Mko = characteristic strength for brace out-of-plane moment load Fy = characteristic yield stress of the chord member at the joint (or 0.7 times the characteristic tensile strength if less). If characteristic values are not available specified minimum values may be substituted.
51
Ka = (1 + 1/sin2)/2 Qf is a factor to allow for the presence of axial and moment loads in the chord. Qf is defined as: Qf = 1.0 - 1.638 lgU2 for extreme conditions Equation 2.2 = 1.0 - 2.890 lgU2 for operating conditions Where, 8 = 0.030 for brace axial load = 0.045 for brace in-plane moment load = 0.021 for brace out-of-plane moment load And,
with all forces in the function U relating to the calculated applied loads in the chord. Note that U defines the chord utilisation factor. Extreme and operating conditions are discussed in Offshore Technology Report chord axial tension force + Equation 2.4 with all forces relating to the calculated applied loads in the chord. Qu is a strength factor which varies with the joint and load type. Qu is defined in Table 13.1.

12.1. Conclusions:
The aim of this project, to learn ,practice and Excel in various subjects which we learned in our classrooms by applying them practically by analysis and design of an arched roof truss, for the usage of industrial storage of materials, efficiently to reach the requirement as well as economy, has been fulfilled successfully. The various operations of the building have been analyzed perfectly and the local codes have been followed correctly. The analyzed truss has strength to withstand various loads. The manual design of other components are also given high importance and calculations of desired reinforcement is found with high factors of safety. We propose that this building has adequate strength to resist all the loads and meet its purpose of storage of materials in its life span. STAAD analysis results show that the structure can resist various loads coming on to it.
