BASIC DATA
The followings are the basic data for the Staggered Vierendeel Trusses for ASHD Building at SVNIT, Surat:
Type of Structure : Staggered Vierendeel Truss
Span : 23 m
Height : 4 m
Roof Covering : RCC Deck / Roof Slabs
Truss Panels : 5 panels @ 4.6 M c/c.
Spacings : 6.75 m c/c.generally and 4.0 m c/c. at Central Stair Locations
Supports : On Trussed Tripod Steel Columns

DESIGN BASIS
The structure has been designed as per latest Indian Codes of Practices for the following loadings
Dead Load : As per IS 875 ( Part 1 ) - 1987
Live Load : As per IS 875 ( Part 2 ) - 1988
Wind Load : As per IS 875 ( Part 3 ) - 1989
Seismic Load : As per IS: 1893 : 2002 and
Other Special Literatures for Wind and Seismic Loadings
The design is done as per IS 800 - 2007, IS: 4923 - 1997, IS 806 - 1968 with the structural properties of steel tubes
obtained from IS 1161 - 1998 and IS: 4923 - 1997
