= 0.000 + FAF * 0.924 1

= FEB * 0.381 3

= 3.056 - FEB * 0.924 4
From Eq. 1
0.000 + FAF * 0.924 = 3.056 - FEB * 0.924
Assume FAF = FEB
 1.849 * FEB = 3.056
FEB = 1.653 kN C

FAF = 1.653 kN T

FAB = 0.630 kN C

FAE = 1.528 kN C
2. Design :
i. Design of Bracing :
a. Design as a Comp. Member
Total Length of Bracing ( l ) = 6.483 m
Half the Length = 3.241 m
Since, these are tension members, ( l/r) max. = 350 ( IS:800, Table No.3.1)
rmin. required = (3.242*10^3)/350
= 9.261 mm

Provide ISA50 x 50 x 6
rmin. provided = 15.10 mm
Hence OK

b. Design as a Tension Member :

Permissible stress in Tension = 0.6 * fy

Permissible stress = 150 N/mm2
Required area of member = (1.653*10^3)/150
= 11.018 mm2

Angles are connected to a gusset plate and In welded construction net area is same as gross area.
Area of angle = 568 mm2
Effective area (Ae) = A1 + k * A2
A1 = 284 mm2
A2 = 284 mm2
k = 0.75 , for angles connected on one side of a gusset.
Effective area (Ae) = 497 mm2
Load carrying capacity = (150 * 497) / 1000
= 74.550 kN
Hence OK

ii. Design of Tie runner:

a. As per ' l/r ' ratio :
Length = 5.000 m
Since, these are tension members, ( l/r) max. = 350 ( IS:800, Table No.3.1)
rmin. required = (5*10^3)/350
= 14.286 mm

Provide 2 ISA 50 x 50 x 6 Star Angles.

rmin. provided = 18.23 mm
Hence OK
b. Design as a Tension Member :

Permissible stress in Tension = 0.6 * fy

Permissible stress = 150 N/mm2
Required area of member = (497*10^3)/150
= 3313.333 mm2

Angles are connected to a gusset plate and In welded construction net area is same as gross area.
Area of angle = 1014 mm2
Effective area (Ae) = A1 + k * A2
A1 = 507 mm2
A2 = 507 mm2
k = 0.75 , for angles connected on one side of a gusset.
Effective area (Ae) = 887.25 mm2
Load carrying capacity = (150 * 887.25) / 1000
= 133.088 kN
Hence OK
 Design of Rafter Bracing :

1. Analysis :
For the Design of Rafter Bracing, IS:800-1984 (cl.6.6.6.1) recomends the following.

In the case of series of latticed beams, girders or roof truss which are connected together by
the same system of restraint members, the sum of the restraining forces required shall be taken as
2.5% of the maximum compression flange plus 1.25% of this this force for every member of the
series other than first upto maximum total of 7.5%.

Rafter bracing shall be provided in end panels as shown in fig. below. The Purlins shall be
assumed to give lateral support to other trusses.

 ΣV = 0:
FDA = 5.439 - FDB * Sin ( 48.938 )
= 5.439 - FDB * 0.754 4
From Eq. 1
1.136 + FAE * 0.754 = 5.439 - FDB * 0.754
Assume FAE = FDB

1.508 * FEB = 4.303

FDB = 2.853 kN C

FAE = 2.853 kN T

FAB = 1.874 kN C

FAD = 3.288 kN C

iii. Shear due to Rafter :

Maximum Comp. Force in Rafter = 57.03 kN (From STAAD)

Shear in rafter Bracing = (2.5 + 2*1.25) x 57.03

100

= 2.8515 kN

Total Shear = i + ii = 2.853 + 2.852

= 5.705 kN
2. Design :

i. As per 'l/r' ratio :

Length of bracing member = 4.356 ^2 + 5.000 ^2

= 6.631 m

rxx required = 6.631 x 1000.0

350.0

= 18.947 mm
Ptovid 65 x 65 x 6

rxx provided = 19.400 mm

Hence OK

ii. Design as a Tension Member :

Permissible stress in Tension = 0.6 * fy

Permissible stress = 150 N/mm2
Required area of member = (5.705*10^3)/150
= 38.033 mm2
Angles are connected to a gusset plate and In welded construction net area is same as gross area.
Area of angle = 744 mm2
Effective area (Ae) = A1 + k * A2
A1 = 372 mm2
A2 = 372 mm2
k = 0.75 , for angles connected on one side of a gusset.
Effective area (Ae) = 651 mm2
Load carrying capacity = (150 * 651) / 1000
= 97.650 kN
Hence OK

Let us distribute the welds in such a way that the c.g. of the welds coinsides with
the c.g. of the angle section.
