Abstract: Three different modes of failure of steel structures are- member failure, joint failure and foundation failure. Any of the failure of the member results in total system failure. Hence, it is required to consider each of the failure under the different loading conditions. A roof truss is selected for the analysis subjected to wind loads and seismic loads with regular dead loads and live loads. A truss which is under function is taken for study. Analysis was carried out using STAAD Pro to check whether design is correct and also for finding out any other parameters. MAT LAB program is used for fatigue analysis; S-N diagrams are drawn for calculating number of cycles to predict life of the structure.
Keywords: Truss, Bolt, Fatigue life, S-N curve, MATLAB.
