1.0 INTRODUCTION
It is proposed to construct a Steel Roof for Proposed Office Complex (Phase 2-Union Square) at No.163,
Dr. Colvin R.De Silva MW., Colombo 2.
The Plan areas of the Roof is approximately 19.8mx10.8m. The Roof is consists of 4 Nos. of 3 Member
Steel Space Trusses (Curvilinear Shape) which are spaced at 3.6m c/c parallel to longer direction. There
will be solar panels mounted on the roof area. (Please refer to Annex 1).
Materials
Structural Steel
Steel should be inconformity with BS 4360.
Bracings
48.3mm OD, 3.2mm TK CHS.

4.0 LOAD EVALUATIONS AND STRUCTURAL MODELLING & ANALYSIS WITH SAP 2000.
4.1 Introduction
The Roof Structure has to resist the following loads.
Dead and imposed loads acting vertically
Uplift loads on the roof rafters due to Wind.
The Structural Modeling Procedure is described in Section 4.2 .The loads acting on the structural
members are calculated as per relevant standards and load evaluation procedure is described in section
4.3. Load combinations considered for the analysis is described in Section 4.4.
Structural model incorporate the following common features and the assumptions.
(1) In a given truss LHS Support is modeled as pinned support and RHS Support is designed as a Roller
Support.
(2) The Roof Loads (Gravity and Wind) are assigned to Space Trusses as point Loads.
(3) The End Moments are released in all the Bracings.
"Unit Roof " Load Case is scale multiplies as given in Table 4.1 to simulate the Following Loads.
Basic wind speeds for each zone is given in Table 3.4 below
Structure is located in Colombo and is designed as a “Post Disaster Structure”. Hence corresponding
Basic Wind Speed (V) is 38m/s.
Wind force calculation can be done as follows.
