Example 2 (Steel Frame Structure)

According to STAAD-Pro V8i software, sketch the idealization of Steel

frame structure with truss roof shown below

( x- 4bays @ 2m at level y = 6m, y- 2story @ 6m & 2m, z- 3bay @ 5m)

Edit the analysis and design commands of frame members under the effects
of the following load conditions:
i. Self-weight with Factor Safety (F.S.=1.2)
ii. Imposed roof load 1.5kN/m2 with (F.S.=1.2)
iii. External live loads shown in frame with (F.S.=1.3)
Notes: Fy = 35 ksi, Es = 29000 kip/in2, edit analysis result for combination
load only. Steel member section (frame column W6X15), Truss frame
(vertical C8X13), (horizontal in x and z direction W8X21at level y = 6m),
(horizontal in z direction double C10X30 at level y = 7m and y =8m),
(external inclined double angle L3X2X3/16), (internal inclined angle
L2.5X2X3/8), roof thickness 3cm, permissible ratio= 0.90, expanded
output design results, with total volume materials table.
