DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES
INTRODUCTION

1. What are steel structures
• In steel structures, structural steel is the main
load carrying material to transfer the load within
them and to transfer load to the ground
• Ex: - I-Beam, Tee section, [ - Channel section,
Steel plate etc..,
• Steel concrete composite structures are also used
in high-rise buildings but we are only going to
study about steel structures in this paper

2.Common Steel structures
1. Roof truss in factories, cinema halls, railways
etc.,
2. Crane girders, columns, beams
3. Plate girders, bridges
4. Transmission towers, water tank, chimney
etc.,

2. Adv. & Disadv.
Advantages
• High comp. & tensile strength per unit weight hence low
construction weight, saves space
• Good aesthetic view
• Good quality and durability
• Very high speed of construction
• Reusability and scrap value – env. Friendly
• Better solution to cover large span and tall structures
Disadvantages
• Highcost – Initial
• Corrosion
• Low fire resistance

3. Steel
Steel making
• First iron is extracted from iron ores like
haematite, limestone, magnetite in furnace
• Oxygen is passed through molten iron to
remove carbon and impurities to make steel.
• Magnese is added to strengthen the steel
• Adding chrome, nickel, phosphorous can
impart special properties in steel
From Civilrnd.com
Cont….
• Semi finished products from the machine is
hot rolled to different sections like bars,
plates, angles, sections etc..,
• Adding carbon increases the tensile strength
and hardness but lowers ductility and
toughness
• In building we use structural steel which has
low carbon of upto 0.1% to have ductility and
yield.

4.Properties of steel
• Physical properties (IS800:2.2.4)
1. r = 7850 kg/m3 = 78.5kN/m3
2. E = 2x105 N/mm2
3. Poison ratio µ = 0.3

Ductility
• Ability of material to change its shape without fracture
Mild steel – high ductility
High carbon steel – low ductility
Toughness & brittle fracture
• Ability of material to resist (absorb) impact load like earthquake load,
machine load etc..,
• Requires both strength and ductility
• At low temp. steel fails on impact loading due to reduction in ductility
and toughness called brittle fracture
Temp
At high temp strength reduces
Corrosion
Steel corrodes in moist air, sea water and acid. Adopt Painting,
metallic coating, plastic coating, using corrosion resistant steel to
resist corrosion
Hardness
• Resistance of the material to intentions and scratching
• Brinell harness, rockwell hardness number are used to
measure hardness
Fatigue
• Damage of material to cyclic loading
• Occurs due to moving loads, vibration in bridge
Residual stress
• Latent stress present in the steel sections due to uneven
heating and cooling during steel making
Stress concentration
• Under loading, stress is concentrated at places at abrubt
change in geomentry like holes bolts

5. STEEL SECTIONS
Steel sections
• Steel is rolled to a required shape during
fabrication.
• Commonly available
– I section –I
– Tee section –T
– Channel sections –
– Angle sections – l
- Steel bars , tubes, plates, sheets, strips
Refer structural engg handbook or steel table for

sectional details From Civilrnd.com

Choice of sections
• Governed by sectional properties and
availability
• Popular in India – ISMB, ISMC, equal angles
• Channels are used in purlins, Tee and angles in
truss, I section in beam and column
Other forms of sections
Built-up, stepped, wide flange, hybrid, cold
formed (formed from light gauge steel strips)

6. Loads on Structures
• DL = Dead load – self weight and perm load (IS875 - part 1)
• LL = Live load - changes from time to time – person ,furniture

etc.., ( part 2)
• WL = Wind load – IS875 part 3

• AL = IS875 part 5
• EL = Earthquake load – IS1893

Design philosophy
Working Stress method
– Stress at which the material starts to yield is taken as
permissible stress of the section. All sections are designed
not to exceed the permissible stress
Permissible stress = Yield stress / F.O.S
– Since steel can resist load after yield point, following this
principle results in bulky, uneconomical sections
Ultimate Load method (plastic design method)

– Permissible load is a load when all the fiber in the steel is
yielded
– This method does not ensure serviceability
• Limit State Method (IS800 : 2007)
– It takes both strength and serviceability to account
– Limit state of Serviceability

• Minimum deformation, deflection, crack, vibration,
corrosion to ensure aesthetic view, functionability and
safety to partitions etc.,
– Limit state of strength

• Structure should be stable and not collapse under load
γf = partial safety factor for load (table 4)

γm = partial safety factor for material (table 5)
