Cost Optimization of a Tubular Steel Truss Using Limit State Method of Design

Abstract

Limit state method helps to design structures based on both safety and serviceability. The structures are designed to withstand ultimate loads or the loads at which failure occurs unlike working stress method where only service loads are considered. This leads to enhanced safety. Also unlike the working stress method, the structures are economical. It is also better than ultimate load method as serviceability requirement is also taken care of by considering various safety factors for all the load types and structures do not undergo massive deflection and cracks. For tubular sections, higher strength to weight ratio could result in upto 30% savings in steel .Due to the high torsional rigidity and compressive strength, Tubular sections behave more efficiently than conventional steel section This study is regarding the economy, load carrying capacity of all structural members and their corresponding safety measures.
