A STUDY ON STAGGERED TRUSS FRAME STEEL STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Sivaji Atturi, E. Arunakanthi

Abstract :

<p> The staggered truss system is a new concept in structural steel framing for high rise buildings. The system consists of a series of story-high trusses spanning the total width between two rows of exterior columns and arranged in a staggered pattern on adjacent column lines. The arrangement of story-high trusses in a staggered pattern at alternate column lines provides large column-free areas for room layouts. The interaction of the floors, trusses, and columns makes the structure perform as a single unit, thereby taking maximum advantage of the strength and rigidity of all the components simultaneously. Each component performs its particular function, totally dependent upon the others for its performance. The staggered truss system of steel framing has become an economical system for high rise, high density occupancy buildings. A numerical studies will be perform on steel building with different number of diagonal chords of a truss before or after vierendeel and also compå by varying vierendeel panel width to investigate the performance of staggered structural system using SAP2000 software. P-Delta analysis is done for all critical load combinations for each model and results are to be analyzed. The time history analysis is carried out to study the response of buildings using Bhuj earthquake data</p>
