Loadings
Dead Load-

Dead loads of all structural members are automatically added to the sap2000 model

Diameter of pipe = 800.00 mm

Wt. of Pipe = 290.80 kg/m

Total Wt. of pipe = 2.91 kN/m

With 10% Extra = 3.20 kN/m

Interval of pipe support(steel benches) = 2.50 m

point load on a support = 8.00 kN Dead load
on a support
= 8.00 kN
Imposed Load-

Water Load
Take dynamic factor for water = 1.30

Diameter of pipe = 800.00 mm

Wt. of Water = π x 0.8^2/4 x 10
5.03 kN/m
Water load with dynamic effect = 1.3 x 5.03
= 6.54 kN/m

Interval of pipe support(steel benches) = 2.50 m

point load on a support from water = 16.35 kN
Service Load will be applied as a point load on lateral bracing (mid span) of bottom chord.
Imposed load due to water load with dynamic effect
= 16.35 kN Imposed load
from water
= 16.35 kN

Service Load
service load on truss = 1.00 kN/m2

Service Load will be applied as a point load on lateral bracing (mid span) of bottom chord.
Lateral bracing spacing = 1.25 m
Point load = 1 x 1.25 x 1.8
= 2.25 kN
Imposed load on a support due to service load = 2.25
= 2.25 kN Imposed load
from service load
= 2.25 kN
Wind Load

Wind loads on buildings/Structures have been computed as per BS CP3 Chapter V part 2 - Basic
data for the design of buildings - Wind loads in conjunction with the Report, “Design of buildings
for high winds in Sri Lanka - Ministry of Local Government, Housing and Construction”.

Basic wind speed(Zone 3) = 38.00 m/s

Surface pipe area of Diameter of pipe dia pipe = π x 0.8/2
(Exposed to Wind) = 1.26 m2/m

Assume 25% from side elevation of truss as active wind area for truss.
area of truss exposed to wind = 0.25 x 1.5 x 1
= 0.38 m2
Effective frontal area Ae = 1.26 + 0.375
= 1.64 m2
