The mansion

I was assigned by Mr. Lim to design the steel truss of Hajeedar bugalow. Loads were assigned as follow:

Main beam: Dead load = 18.55kN/m^2, Live load = 1.5kN/m^2
Secondary beam: Dead load = 4kN/m^2, Live load = 1.5kN/m^2
Wall: Dead load = 8kN/m

The second story was assigned with only uniform distributed roof load. Deflection was adequate. Lateral torsional buckling and plane flexural buckling was adequate as well.
