1. Truss Dimension
Distance between Trusses = 1.65 m
2. Design Loads:
Dead Loads
Self weight of the Truss
Dead Load on the Truss
1kn/m² 1.65 KN/m
Live loads
0.5kN/m² 0.82 KN/m
3
3. Load combinations
Due BS 5950 code
Load Case-1 = 1.4 DL + 1.2 LL
Load Case-2 = 1.4 DL
Load Case-3 = 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL
DL = Dead Load
LL = Live Load

4. Staad Pro Verification Results
Deflection check
Load combination Dead+Live
Max allowable deflection under Live load = L/360
= 23000/360 = 64mm > 24.2 mm OK
Max allowable deflection under (Live load + Dead Load ) = L/240 =
23000/240 = 96mm > 81.6mm OK
Maximum ultimate Axial Force

5. Used sections
┐┌
Upper chord is 2 L80x6 mm back to back angle
┐┌
lower chord is 2 L50x5 mm back to back angle
Vertical angles are single angle L 30x3
Inclined angles are single angle L 50x6 except the terminal angle ( in
┐┌
the blue circle ) is 2 L70x5 mm back to back angle and only
the angle in the next bay ( in the red circle ) is angle L60x5

6. STAAD PRO INPUT
The STAAD PRO program allows the possibility of entering facility data in text
form. Therefore, the following text can be copied and pasted into STAAD PRO to
build the file:
