Comparative analysis of truss members according to design parameters of IS: 800:2007 and IS: 800:1984

Abstract

The following will evaluate the study conducted on structural components ie. Tension member and compression member in both limit state method as well as working state method. The two methods have been compared in this study by designing members in both tension as well as compression. there are different sections used in the study to get the difference. The sections are used is from the IS steel table. The assumptions in both the methods which made us study them to acquire a conclusion which will be beneficial for engineers like us to know the economy of the two and which one of them to bring in to practice, especially for steel structures. Since steel structures is a task in our country, this study will be a boon for future steel structures. The design of the components is done using excel sheet which will give a graphical result, which is then compared to check the economy of the two method. The use of excel sheet for the study is because of its excellent accuracy, time consumption, and the ease it gives for the parallel study of the two methods, which we do not get using any other electronic spreadsheet. The two codes are used for the designing purpose of the components which are IS 800:1984 and IS 800: 2007.
