● Summary

Bracings

The column cross bracing is placed between two adjacent columns to increase lateral rigidity, transmit horizontal force, and assure the overall stability of the building structure. They prevent from excessive sidesway caused by lateral loads brought about by wind or earthquakes.

Rectangular Truss System

Rectangular truss can be used as bending resistant spans at a free span of up to 30m with high load bearing capacity. Due to its special shape and dimensions, the rectangular truss exhibits a great rigidity and can thus be used for long spans with high loadings compared to a single steel column.

They are fast and cost-effective to install and do not require heavy expensive equipment or excessive preparation in order to be used effectively. Trusses are generally built in a factory and delivered as a complete set to a job site, where the structure is then built.

Built-up Column

The columns in tall industrial structures that support heavy loads are constructed of built-up sections. Built-up columns frequently consist of HE or UPE sections with battens (flat plate) or lacing (typically angles) welded across the flanges. Built-up column buildings are almost always highly loaded and frequently vulnerable to moving loads from cranes.

In our situation, a built-up column can support a rectangular truss that is being subjected to shifting loads from a cable. Instead of utilizing a single steel column, a built-up column has a larger cross-section moment of inertia due to the space between the chord centroids. This raises both the axial force and bending moment capacities of the column while lowering its slenderness ratio.

Advantages

Lightweight

The steel used in the rectangular truss structure is a high-strength lightweight structure.

Low cost and easy to construct

Steel truss can be built from simple prefabricated units, which are often of standard size and shape.

For large span structure

Truss systems can span large distances and dissipate forces throughout the structure with load-bearing only at the ends.
