Structural steel trusses
A truss, or lattice structure, is a structural assembly of small interconnected elements.
Structural analysis uses the concept of resolving forces, which can be analytically or graphically.
Roof bracing is often necessary to provide stability.
There is considerable design flexibility for roof trusses, but simple rules can be used as initial guidelines.
The same analysis can be performed graphically, with forces
represented by lines drawn to scale in the same direction as the
corresponding forces.
The traditional bolted joint has generally been replaced by welding.
Trusses can be designed to suit a wide range of requirements.
Real circumstances are generally different from the idealised conditions assumed in the analysis of trusses.
Trusses offer effective routes for distributing services.
Trusses can have a rectangular configuration, avoiding the potential intrusion of diagonal members, if the joints are rigid.
Design guidance
Tata Steel is committed to supporting
excellence in design as we strive to create value for our customers and
support sustainable development.
Our multi-disciplined teams which include specialist
engineers and architects work hand-in-hand with the design community to
optimise the use of our materials and technologies.
Slimdek® is an engineered flooring solution developed to offer a
cost-effective, service-integrated, minimal depth floor for use in
multi-storey steel-framed buildings with grids up to 9m x 9m.
Quality, flexibility and durability are terms synonymous with Tata Steel sections and plates.
A building must provide a protected environment which meets the
client’s requirements; it must be ready on time, perform to the
required standard, and be within budget. Colorcoat® pre-finish steel is a
fast, reliable, and economical way of creating a building envelope.
From steel decking, plate and modular systems to fully
engineered floor solutions. Whatever the priority - be it finish, speed
of installation, quality, cost or thermal efficiency – the Tata Steel
range is wide and varied.
The Tata Steel sections interactive "blue book" is an
electronic version of the SCI Blue Book. The latest release, includes
design information in accordance with the relevant parts of both BS EN
1993-1-1 (Eurocode) and BS 5950.
Modern steel bridges taking advantage of the latest advances in
automated fabrication and construction techniques are able to provide
economic solutions to the demands of safety, rapid construction,
aesthetic appearance, shallow construction depth, minimal maintenance
and flexibility in future use.

Quality, flexibility and durability are terms synonymous with Tata Steel sections and plates.
The Approved Document approach to satisfying regulatory
requirements in England and Wales in the mid 1980s began a recognition
of modern practice that continued into the 1990s with the introduction
of the structural codes for fire resistant design
This section aims to summarise the required and recommended acoustic performance levels of buildings in the British Isles.
Cost effective corrosion protection of structural steelwork
should present little difficulty for common applications and
environments if the factors that affect durability are recognised at the
outset.
The introduction of the Eurocodes will be the largest single change in codified design in living memory.
New Compression resistance, Bending resistance, Columns in
simple construction, and Combined axial compression and bending design
tools have been added to the Design software and tools article on the
BCSA's www.steelconstruction.info wikipedia style website.
