Steel Design Guide: Staggered Truss Framing Systems
About this episode
A comprehensive resource for structural engineers on designing buildings utilizing the staggered-truss system, particularly for mid-rise residential and hospitality structures. The source details the advantages of staggered trusses, including their efficiency for lateral load resistance and reduced floor-to-floor height, and provides a thorough design methodology encompassing diaphragm action, gravity and lateral load calculations, and the specific design of truss members and connections. Furthermore, it incorporates chapters on seismic design requirements, specialized topics like openings and erection, and fire protection considerations for this steel framing system.
