| Summary: | This final year project is a study on structural truss decks which can be used to hold industrial
loadings over existing developments. The study aims to find some of the more cost-effective
structures – those with the longest span and least deflection under the maximum loading, using
the least amount of structural steel. Steel sections underwent software analysis, while selection
of joint connections was based more on industry research. However, instead of identifying the
ultimate structurally-effective cost-efficient truss deck, the results show the range of prices for
the structures analysed. Thus, this study gives an understanding of the minimal structural and
financial requirements of realizing such an innovative idea. |
