Dear Hokie & gobsmacked, Thank you to both of you for your kind assistance.

Dear Hokie, I am very thankful for your really precious time. Please have a look at the PDF attached may be you understand what i am trying to say. Since Cold formed steel is quite different from Hot rolled steel.And according to what I have read in research papers/ reports , the moment should...

Wht do suggest if i connect the truss parts with Tension strap on the flanges or on the web as shown in the attached pic rather than connecting them with screws i.e (center back to back studs with screws) ...

Dear Hokie, First of all let me tell about the two restriction I have: 1) First of all we cannot transport such a huge truss from our factory to the site. It means we have to manufacture in the parts. Maximum 12 meters part. 2)Now It means we have two options either we connect truss parts...

Yes Gobsmacked, the lateral load is comming from both side now have a look at the above post to have more clear understanding. Regards

Dear Hokie, Sorry I was supposed to write 0.7 KPA ( 15 psf).And you are right I strongly need a Senior Structural Engineer mentor but unfortunately at moment that is not possible. I have to clarify my doubts somewhere online. Let me try to explain it morely clearly with more snapshots...

thanks Hokie66 for you response. Actually the file attached above is an AutoCAD file so you may have to right click on the file and click " open with" autocad. Hope it will open now.Than apply ("z"-"space bar"-"a"-"space bar") command to bring it on a model screen. Than convert it into 3D model...

Dear Hokie, What All I need to get a structure stable under the Lateral as well gravity loads in both direction. The building is of cold formed steel structure.Please have look at link (3D model what im designing) in my 3rd last post.And suggest me how to make a laterally stable structure...

or Frame will only take lateral loads if it is made Moments resisting frames i.e ( not simply supported connections between Truss and Columns?

Dear Once, Actually I have broken both Bottom and upper chord of the truss. Actually What I am thinking to do is to make Moments at the supports zero but at the same time I want to transfer Lateral Loads (Axial) from one part of the truss to the other i.e. for lateral load I want it to act as a...

Ridge Height of truss : 1.9 Meters Eave Height: 0.4 meters Height of Lattice Columns : 2.4 meters Please do ask if u still need any sketch/point to understand the question.

Thanks Hokie! Please do find the attached Image.Total Span of Truss is 30m But truss is divided into 5 (6meter each) simply supported parts. All intermediate columns are double each supporting the one truss truss part. The truss is connected to the bottom of the column only. Hope now u can...

Dear All, Is it a correct design approach? i.e. There is a cold formed steel structure 30m x 33m. 30 meter truss is provided but the truss is supported at every 6 meters with a lattice columns. As bending moment should be avoid on the Cold formed steel columns so can I convert 30 Meters truss...
