Structural Analysis and Optimization of Trussed Roof Steel Structures for Enhanced Safety—A Comparative Study

In contemporary industrial settings, steel structures, particularly those utilized for purposes such as warehouses and industrial sheds, play a pivotal role. The imperative lies in designing these structures to be both secure and cost-effective. This study focuses on the analysis of trussed roof-type structures, examining key responses such as deflection, time period, and frequency. The investigation extends to evaluate the impact of both horizontal and inclined bracing on structural performance. Our findings reveal that the introduction of inclined bracing to steel columns effectively mitigates deflection compared to alternative bracing arrangements. Furthermore, the analysis underscores that the utilization of X-type bracing results in less displacement than their K-type counterparts, presenting a valuable insight for optimizing the design and construction of such steel structures. This research contributes to the broader understanding of enhancing the safety through bracing system and economic viability of steel frames used in industrial applications.
