Steel structures are a common form of construction in the world.
They provide a strong, durable and economical solution to many building
projects. Steel structures can be designed to meet the needs of virtually any
project, from small industrial buildings to high-rises with hundreds of floors.
Steel structures are different from wooden or masonry structures
because steel is a material with much higher tensile strength. The greater the
weight, the more steel that is needed to support it. Steel for construction was
originally produced as wrought iron, but more modern and economical methods of
producing steel have allowed this material to be used on a large scale in
construction.
The design of a steel structure is based on several key
principles, including: - Strength -- Weight -- Economy -- Durability -- Safety.
Steel structures are designed in such a
way that they can be erected quickly without the need to make extensive
modifications. They are also designed so that they do not require complex and
expensive reinforcing of the material. When significant reinforcement is
required, it is done with simple steel bars or rods to form connections among
members of a structure.
A common type of steel structure is the truss, which has many
advantages over other types of structures like masonry ones or framed
construction. Trusses provide ease of construction, and have the advantages of
economy in use of material per linear foot and weight. Steel trusses, loosely
speaking, are a triangle with a very narrow point at the top; they are composed
of three spaced beams connected by cross members. The beams rest on tops of the
cross members (called "spreaders") that span between each beam. The
triangle is supported by posts or posts and foundations that support other
parts like walls or slabs.
There are two main types: the longitudinal truss, which is long,
and the diagonal truss, which is short. The diagonal truss is easier to
construct and can be built on a framework of posts with no foundation or walls.
A truss may be either a single-span or multi-span structure. Single-span
structures are useless without secondary support such as another beam or pier
at each end of the span. Multi-span structures are often used in roof
construction (using 'girts' to support the rafters) and for spanning gaps
between two buildings. Single-span trusses are used most often for decking,
stairs, and roofs. Many types of single-span trusses can also be found as part
of more complex structures such as bridges and balconies. The curved shapes
used in these projects are possible because the ends of the spans are connected
with straight members which allow the individual spans to "bend" into
a curved shape.
A multi-span curved truss bridge is shown in Figure 7-1. Figure
7-1: Example of a multi-span curved truss bridge A multi-span curved truss
bridge has a minimum of three single spans, and a maximum of six. The length of
the single spans is given by L = 3L + 2L2, where L is the length in feet
(ft)The minimum clear span for this bridge is given by H = 2H + 1H2, where H is
the height in feet (ft)The maximum clearance at midspan for this bridge is
given by C = 2C + 1C2, where C is the centre line to centre line distance in
feet (ft)The span length of the bridge is given by L = 3L + 2L2, where L is the
length in feet (ft)The minimum clear span for this bridge is given as H = 2H +
1H2, where H is the height in feet (ft) The maximum clearance at midspan for
this bridge is given by C = 2C + 1C2, where C is the clearance in feet (ft)The
height of the center pier is given as 5H, where H is the height in feet (ft).
