Experimental and Numerical Investigation of a Novel Cold-Formed Steel Long Span Truss
Description:
This thesis describes the experimental and numerical investigation of a novel cold-formed steel 48ft and 54ft long span truss. The truss we designed was to be used as the roofs of large buildings, such as warehouses, hangars, sports arenas. The investigation includes both experimental and numerical testing, the experimental testing of the truss under uniform loads (increasing loads) to determine its deflection and load carrying capacity. The numerical test included developing a finite element m…
