exists. Consequently, when calculating the design stress in a section, e.g. flexural, axial,
shear, etc., it is to be assumed that elastic behaviour will apply up to the failure condition.
Where EC5 considers that plastic behaviour can be taken into account to enhance member
strength, this is incorporated into the relevant strength validation rules given in the code.

Here, two option for concept design of light framed structures. First option will
base on purely wooden structure framing design. Check the overall feasibility/stability by
considering the limit state of strength and for limit strength of serviceability of
superstructure for various loading condition as mention above. If the purely wooden
member will satisfy the requirement base on various codal provisions then it will be
possible to use purely wooden member only, if not then the type 2 will proposed.
To make all superstructures as simple and feasible for erecting and design point of view,
it may need additional planned bracing.
CASE STUDY
4.1 Introduction
To study the cost comparative analysis design of composite member structure and
conventional structure for light framed structure, a residential building project at
Lonawala, Pune is considered. This building is light framed structural with luxurious villa
type. It is located at the foot of Tung fort means hilly area. This building has made up of
mainly 5 parts; Living Area, 2 Bedroom areas, Kitchen area and large pool deck or
swimming pool area. Each part has divided into superstructure and substructure. For
superstructure above plinth level, it is requirement that the entire framed member should
have compact in size and having looks of Timber member. Therefore options for
superstructure are proposed as below;
Conventional pure Timber framed and along with timber sheeted roof can be used
to get the effect.
Conventional structural Steel framed and roof supporting system can be designed.
But for timber effect, timber sections should be connected to steel
Hybrid structural system made of Steel Timber composite member which gives
both i.e. timber looks and cost saving in material.
Substructure to be constructed by RCC as it is below ground and sliding/ sloppy area.
The general arrangement is as per shown in subsequent sections. The substructure
proposed is of RCC frame structure. Analysis & Design is carried out as per Indian
Standards as per IS 456. For conventional type framed superstructure made up of
structural steel, analysis & design is carried out as per Indian Standards as per IS 800. For
hybrid structural system made up of steel timber composite elements framed
superstructure, analysis & design is carried out as per Indian Standards as per IS 800. The
Superstructure is modeled as a three-dimensional space frame in which the columns &
beams are idealized as 3-D beam elements with six degrees of freedom at each node.
Roof supporting structure consists of Sheeting, purlins and Rafters. Structure is analyzed
& designed for various loads & combinations of loads as stated in further sections.
The type of structure studied here is considered as light framed structural building, as
there are no multi-storeys laid above. Normally these types of structures are not seen,
hence considered as miscellaneous type. For construction of such building, choice of
structure become more critical, as conventional type takes more time for construction.
Hence, it’s more logical to find the midway and more suitable to choose cost saving
technique. The configuration of the building aesthetics itself imposes the type of the
structure supporting it. In the study there is a complicated structure which is supported by
conventional type and hybrid type structural arrangement.
It consists of roof sheeting consists of arrangement as shown in fig. 4.1 above. Profile
sheeting is supported by purlins, above profile sheeting vapour barrier and insulation will
be provided to reduce thermal effect. Above profile metal sheet synthetic mesh is
provided and top zinc roof panel will be provided.
The roof system is supported by purlins and rafter. Rafter is supported by beams and
beam transfers the loads to props or columns i.e. vertical or inclined member. In
conventional practice all these members are made up of steel or timber member. In other
case means hybrid system these members made up of steel timber composite.
For this light frame miscellaneous structure, analysis is done by using STAAD Pro
software to check conventional type structure. This is followed by designing these
members in STAAD Pro by using IS 800. Welded connections are considered for the
frame. The designed steel members are additionally connected by timber sections to
follow the aesthetics. For composite frame analysis SCIA software is used and EC5 Euro-
code is used. Here, wind load considered as governing than seismic due to mass
consideration. Analysis and design is performed using two approaches: (1) by using
conventional type structure (2) by using hybrid or composite type structure. Support
conditions considered as partially fixed.
Dead Load
The self-weight of structure is considered under dead load. Additional 10% of dead
load is increase by considering the effect of connection plates and fasteners.
Live Load
For roof live load consider as = 1.5KN per critical location
