Some of the oldest long span structures
dated back to the Roman civilization.
However, most long-span buildings then
were single level constructed using vaults
and domes.
By the late 20th century, durable upper
limits of span were established for these
types:
the largest covered stadium had a span of
204 meters (670 feet),
the largest exhibition hall had a span of
216 meters (710 feet),
and the largest commercial fixed-wing
aircraft had a 75–80 meter (250–266
foot) span hangar.
The major evolution in long span section-
active structures has occurred in the
aspect of shift from in-situ to precast
construction.

Introduction
Beams greater than 30 meters in span are
said to be LONG SPAN BEAMS.
The use of long span beams results in a
range of benefits, including flexible,
column free internal spaces, reduced
foundation costs, and reduced steel
erection times.
Many long span solutions are also well
adapted to facilitate the integration of
services without increasing the overall
floor depth.
The design of long span steel and (steel -
concrete) composite beams is generally
carried out in accordance with the IS.
>30 meters
Conventional beam Long span beam
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types
Most common type of long span beams used today are: Plate Girders, and Beams with Web Openings.
The popular construction methodology is composite construction (steel + concrete)
The types of long span beams are:
1. Parallel beam approach
The parallel beam approach is
effective for spans up to around 14
m. Floor grids comprise two layers
of fully continuous beams running
in orthogonal directions. Services
running in either direction can be
integrated within these two layers,
so that services passing in any
direction can be accommodated
within the structural floor depth. A
further benefit is that, being fully
continuous, the depth of the beams
themselves is reduced without
incurring the expense and
complexity of rigid, full strength
connections .
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types
2. Composite Beam with Web openings
Web openings are typically formed
in beams to allow services to pass
through the beam, reducing the
effective overall depth of floor
construction for a given spanning
capability or for aesthetic reasons
Span: 10 to 16 m.
The alternative way of forming the
web openings is simply to cut them
into the plate used to form the web
of a plate girder, or the web of a
rolled section.
The openings introduce a number
of potential failure modes not
found in solid web beams. Large
openings may require stiffening to
avoid instability (buckling) of the
web posts.

3. Tapered Girders
Tapered girders can be a cost
effective solution in the span
range 10 m to 20 m.
They are another solution that
allows services to be
accommodated within the
structural floor zone.
The depth of the girder
increases towards mid-span,
where applied moments are
greatest, and thereby
facilitating hanging services
under the shallower regions
near the beam supports. It is
also possible to form web
openings in tapered girders in
regions of low shear, towards
mid-span. These provide more
options for service integration .
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types
4. Stub girders
Stub girders are a Vierendeel
form of truss. The bottom
chord is typically formed from
a shallow open section (H-
beam), on which sit short
lengths (stubs) of deeper I-
sections.
The number of
elements/surfaces associated
with a stub girder may increase
the cost of fire protection
compared with simpler
solutions.
Spans in excess of 20 m can be
economically achieved.
Services and/or secondary
beams can pass through the
gaps between the beam stubs,
reducing overall construction
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types
5. Haunched Composite beams
Haunches may be added at the
ends of a composite beam to
provide moment continuity.
The stiffness and strength of the
connections mean that the rest
of the span can be shallower
(the bending moment diagram
is 'lifted' and the effective
stiffness of the beam
substantially increased), and
services passed under it. In
buildings where the services are
likely to need frequent
replacement (for example in
hospitals ), hanging the services
under the beams can be
advantageous.
Spans in excess of 20 m can
readily be achieved.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types
6. Composite trusses
Composite trusses, which use the
concrete slab as the upper chord
in the final state, can achieve
spans in excess of 20 m. This
means they have been used when
very long spanning capability was
needed. The main disadvantages
are that during the construction
phase the truss may be rather
flexible (laterally), and that in the
final state the costs of fire
protection can be high given the
large number of surfaces to
protect. Clearly one of the prices
to pay for the spanning ability is
that fabrication cost is higher than
for a plain beam. Services can be
passed through the gaps between
the truss members to reduce
overall floor depth.

Cleddau Bridge
• The Cleddau Bridge is a toll bridge
on the A477 road that spans the
River Cleddau between Neyland
and Pembroke Dock, Wales.
• Errors in the box girder design
caused it to collapse during its
construction in 1970.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Case study: Failure
• It failed during its erection by cantilevering segments of the span, out from the piers.
• The bridge was designed as a single continuous box girder of welded steel.
• The span that collapsed was the second one on the south side. The boxes were fabricated in
sections and moved over the previously built sections, aligned in place and welded.
• The collapse occurred when the last section of box for the second span was being moved out along
the cantilever.
• This section slid forward down the cantilever buckled, at the support and collapsed into the river
(Fig 2), killing four men, including the site-engineer.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
• Investigation of collapse showed that the collapse was due to the buckling of the diaphragm at the
support (i.e., at the root of the second span being erected).
• The diaphragm was torn away from the sloping web near the bottom. This caused reduction in the
lever arm between flanges resisting negative bending moment at the support.
• The tendency of the bottom flange
to buckle was inevitably increased
by the reduction of the distance
between the flanges, as this
increased the force needed in each
flange to carry the moment with
the reduced lever arm.
• The support diaphragm was, in
effect, a transverse plate girder,
which carried heavy loads from
the webs of the plate girder at its
extreme ends and was supported
by the bearings as shown in Fig 3.

Long Span Trusses
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
• A roof truss is a structure that includes one or multiple triangular units that include straight
slender members with their ends connected via nodes.
• Trusses are frame works in which the members are subjected to essentially axial forces due to
externally applied load.
• Bending leads to compression in the top chords (or horizontal members), tension in the bottom
chords, and either tension or compression in the vertical and diagonal members, depending on
their orientation.

Introduction
Pitched Roof Truss
• A pitched roof truss has a bottom
chord with two inclined top chord
connected through gusset plates or
panels. Extra supports in the form of
struts are also added as per the
requirement.
•These trusses have a greater depth at
mid-span.

Categories Parallel Chord truss
King post truss:
A king post is a central vertical post used in
architectural or bridge designs, working in tension
to support a beam below from a truss apex above
Queen post truss:
A queen-post bridge has two uprights, placed
about one-third of the way from each end of the
truss. They are connected across the top by
a beam and use a diagonal brace between the
outer edges.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types of trusses
Pratt truss:
•In Pratt trusses, the web members are arranged in
such a way that under gravity load the longer
diagonal members are under tension and the shorter
vertical members experience compression.
•These trusses can be used for spans that range
between 6-10m.
Howe truss:
•The converse of the Pratt is the Howe truss. This is
commonly used in light roofing so that the longer
diagonals experience tension under reversal of
stresses due to wind load.
•These trusses can be used for spans that range
between 6-30m.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types of trusses
Fink truss:
Fink trusses are used for longer spans having high
pitch roof, since the web members in such truss are
sub-divided to obtain shorter members.
Fan truss:
Fan trusses are used when the rafter members of the
roof trusses have to be sub-divided into odd number
of panels.
Scissor truss:
Scissor roof truss can particularly be found in
cathedrals. The upside here is that the ceiling gets
vaulted and you receive more space in the attic.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types of trusses
Warren girder:
•Parallel chord trusses uses webs of the same lengths
and thus reduce fabrication costs for very long spans.
•Modified Warren is used with additional verticals,
introduced in order to reduce the unsupported length
of compression chord members.
Lattice girder:
•It is commonly made using a combination of
structural sections connected with diagonal lacing.
This member is more correctly referred to as a laced
strut or laced tie.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Types of trusses
Vierendeel truss:
The Vierendeel truss is a structure where the
members are not triangulated but form rectangular
openings, and is a frame with fixed joints that are
capable of transferring and resisting bending
moments.
K- type truss:
In the case of very deep and very shallow trusses it
may become necessary to use K patterns for web
members to achieve appropriate inclination of the
web members.
North light truss:
In the north light truss, skylights or openings are
provided to allow north light inside the structure.

Types Of Loads
The following are the various types of
loads to be considered while
calculating the stresses.
• Dead Load
• Live Load
• Longitudinal Force
• Horizontal Forces
• Wind Load
• Seismic Load
Direction of load transfer in Trusses
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Load Analysis
Assumptions Behind Truss
Analysis
• Truss members are connected at
their ends only, and they are
connected by friction-less pins.
• So you don't have to consider any
secondary bending moment
induced do to force of friction.
• Truss is loaded only at joints.
• Weight of truss members can be
neglected, compared to load acting
on the truss.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Load Analysis
• Force developed in a truss member is
always axial. It can be either tensile,
or compressive.
• If a member is under tensile load, this
will be the direction of internal force
developed .
• So you can notice that, under tensile
load, internal force developed in the
member is directed away from the
joint.
• Similarly in case of compressive force,
the internal force developed in the
member is directed towards the joint.

Bamboo
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Materials
While bamboo has been used for
centuries, the traditional methods of
lashing bamboo together are not
appropriate for the design of long
span trusses.
• These lashed connections don’t fully
utilize the full strength of bamboo
member.
• They rely solely on friction, the load
transfer between members is limited
and thus structures require more
members to do the same job that
one could if it were well connected.
• Finally complex geometries with
many members framing into one
node or three dimensional space
frames are difficult if not impossible
to construct.
Traditional Bamboo ConnectionLong Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Alternative MaterialsBamboo connections
• Since all fibers in a bamboo run parallel
once a bolt is placed through it and the
connection loaded in tension, the bolt acts
like a wedge and splits the bamboo.
• Also the puncture allows moisture to enter
the culm and accelerate decay
• Based on the proprietary nature of the
hubs, their installation requirements, and
the desire to develop cost effective, simple
connections, the research focused on an
alternate connection type to eliminate
these challenges.
Modern Bamboo Connection
These connections solve the issues of
complex geometries by joining the
members at a central hub. While they
provide a standardized connection
throughout a project, they are not
readily available.
Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
Alternative MaterialsBamboo connections
• This connection requires filling several
hollow cells of the bamboo with concrete
and embedding a threaded rod.
• The new connection involves embedding a
common steel reinforcing bar into a mortar
filled bamboo culm and fillet welding
several of these members to a steel gusset
plate.
• The inner surface of the bamboo is
roughened to provide a bond between the
mortar and the bamboo while avoiding
puncturing the member.
• Because the rebar is embedded in mortar,
the load is transferred evenly across the
member’s cross section and can transfer
high axial loads to the bamboo.
• Finally, the incorporation of the steel
gusset plate makes the bamboo easy to
connect in any configuration desired

Applications
• Quick Installation- The primary advantage of a truss is
that it can be installed quickly and cost-effectively, even
even without heavy equipment to lift it into place.
• Increased Span- The unique properties of a triangular
object allow trusses to span across longer distances.
• Load Distribution- The shape of a triangle allows all of the
weight applied to the sides (or legs) to be redistributed
redistributed down and away from the centre. In trusses,
trusses, this transfers the entire weight of the roof to the
the outer walls.
• Accessibility- Since the bottom rail of a truss is typically
the ceiling of the rooms below, the triangular spaces of
of the trusses themselves form accessible paths for the
the installation of HVAC, electric and other utility
applications. The central void of a truss system is
generally the attic of a home, with the slope of the roof

• Transportation- Sometimes they are too big for a truck. In such
cases, specially designed truss trailers have to be used to haul the
structures around.
• Metal roofs-
I. Skilled labour is required to install metal roof trusses.
II. They are not energy efficient since they allow more heat to

III. When the metal is cut, drilled, scratched or welded, rust can
become a problem.
• Wooden roofs-
I. Wooden roofs are susceptible to fire.

TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
• Some steel arch bridges are built using
pure cantilever spans from each side,
with neither falsework below nor
temporary supporting towers and cables
above.
• These are then joined with a pin, usually
after forcing the union point apart, and
when jacks are removed and the bridge
decking is added the bridge becomes
a truss arch.
• Such unsupported construction is only
possible where appropriate rock is
available to support the tension in the
upper chord of the span during
construction, usually limiting this
method to the spanning of narrow
canyons.

Portal frames were first developed during the Second
World War and became popular in the 1960‘s
They are now commonly used to create wide-span
enclosures, where a clear space is required
uninterrupted by intermediary columns.
They were originally used because of their structural
efficiency, meaning that large spaces could be enclosed
with little use of materials and for a low cost.
They tend to be lightweight and can be fabricated off
site, then bolted to a substructure.
The portal frames themselves may be left exposed to the
internal space, and if carefully designed can be very
beautiful.
Materials used for portal frame is Steel or steel
reinforced precast concrete although can also
constructed using laminated timber such as glulam

Portal frames are a type of structural frame, that, in their simplest
form, are characterized by a beam (or rafter) supported at either
either end by columns.
Portal frame structures are often clad with prefabricated
composite metal panels, incorporating insulation. Masonry
cladding may be provided at low level to give greater resilience
and security.
A secondary framework of purlins fixed to the rafters and rails
fixed to the columns provides support for cladding.
Generally, a building structure will be formed by a series of
parallel portal frames running down the length of the buildings,
typically 6 to 8m apart.

Portal frames are generally low-rise structures, comprising columns
and horizontal or pitched rafters, connected by moment-resisting
connections.
Members of portal frames are jointed by means of welding and bolting
so the joints of the frame could transfer moments also in addition to
the axial load

In portal frames heavy point loads may occur
from suspended walkways, air handling units etc.
In certain situation it will be more appropriate to
use truss or lattice girder rather than a portal

Cranes impose both horizontal and vertical loads
on the structure, part of loading is due to dynamic
effects. The vertical load will be composed of a
load due to weight of the crane bridge. The

the plane of the frame, that vary from a
maximum ‘hogging’ moment at the junction with
the column to a minimum sagging moment close
to the apex. They are also subject to overall
compression from the frame action. They are not
subject to any minor axis moments.
Although member resistance is important, stiffness of the frame is also necessary to limit the effects
of deformed geometry and to limit the deflections.

  • 5. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Some of the oldest long span structures dated back to the Roman civilization. However, most long-span buildings then were single level constructed using vaults and domes. By the late 20th century, durable upper limits of span were established for these types: the largest covered stadium had a span of 204 meters (670 feet), the largest exhibition hall had a span of 216 meters (710 feet), and the largest commercial fixed-wing aircraft had a 75–80 meter (250–266 foot) span hangar. The major evolution in long span section- active structures has occurred in the aspect of shift from in-situ to precast construction. History and Evolution Old-to-New long span structures with their height and spans
  • 6. Another method of classification of long span structures is as follows Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Form - Active Systems of flexible, non-rigid matter, in which the redirection of forces is effected by particular form design and characteristic form stabilization Systems of rigid, solid, linear elements, in which redirection of forces is effected by mobilization of sectional forces Systems of short, solid, straight lineal members, in which the redirection of forces is effected by vector partition, i.e. by multidirectional splitting of single force simply to tension or compressive elements Section - Active Vector - Active Surface - Active Cable Structures Tent Structures Pneumatic structures Arch structures Flat Trusses Curved Trusses Space Trusses Beam Structures Framed structures Slab structures Systems of flexible or rigid planes able to resist tension, compression or shear, in which the redirection of forces is effected by mobilization of sectional forces Plate Structures Folded Structures Shell structures
  • 7. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Introduction Beams greater than 30 meters in span are said to be LONG SPAN BEAMS. The use of long span beams results in a range of benefits, including flexible, column free internal spaces, reduced foundation costs, and reduced steel erection times. Many long span solutions are also well adapted to facilitate the integration of services without increasing the overall floor depth. The design of long span steel and (steel - concrete) composite beams is generally carried out in accordance with the IS. >30 meters Conventional beam Long span beam
  • 8. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Types Most common type of long span beams used today are: Plate Girders, and Beams with Web Openings. The popular construction methodology is composite construction (steel + concrete) The types of long span beams are: 1. Parallel beam approach The parallel beam approach is effective for spans up to around 14 m. Floor grids comprise two layers of fully continuous beams running in orthogonal directions. Services running in either direction can be integrated within these two layers, so that services passing in any direction can be accommodated within the structural floor depth. A further benefit is that, being fully continuous, the depth of the beams themselves is reduced without incurring the expense and complexity of rigid, full strength connections .
  • 9. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Types 2. Composite Beam with Web openings Web openings are typically formed in beams to allow services to pass through the beam, reducing the effective overall depth of floor construction for a given spanning capability or for aesthetic reasons Span: 10 to 16 m. The alternative way of forming the web openings is simply to cut them into the plate used to form the web of a plate girder, or the web of a rolled section. The openings introduce a number of potential failure modes not found in solid web beams. Large openings may require stiffening to avoid instability (buckling) of the web posts.

  • 12. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Types 3. Tapered Girders Tapered girders can be a cost effective solution in the span range 10 m to 20 m. They are another solution that allows services to be accommodated within the structural floor zone. The depth of the girder increases towards mid-span, where applied moments are greatest, and thereby facilitating hanging services under the shallower regions near the beam supports. It is also possible to form web openings in tapered girders in regions of low shear, towards mid-span. These provide more options for service integration .
  • 13. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Types 4. Stub girders Stub girders are a Vierendeel form of truss. The bottom chord is typically formed from a shallow open section (H- beam), on which sit short lengths (stubs) of deeper I- sections. The number of elements/surfaces associated with a stub girder may increase the cost of fire protection compared with simpler solutions. Spans in excess of 20 m can be economically achieved. Services and/or secondary beams can pass through the gaps between the beam stubs, reducing overall construction
  • 14. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Types 5. Haunched Composite beams Haunches may be added at the ends of a composite beam to provide moment continuity. The stiffness and strength of the connections mean that the rest of the span can be shallower (the bending moment diagram is 'lifted' and the effective stiffness of the beam substantially increased), and services passed under it. In buildings where the services are likely to need frequent replacement (for example in hospitals ), hanging the services under the beams can be advantageous. Spans in excess of 20 m can readily be achieved.
  • 15. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Types 6. Composite trusses Composite trusses, which use the concrete slab as the upper chord in the final state, can achieve spans in excess of 20 m. This means they have been used when very long spanning capability was needed. The main disadvantages are that during the construction phase the truss may be rather flexible (laterally), and that in the final state the costs of fire protection can be high given the large number of surfaces to protect. Clearly one of the prices to pay for the spanning ability is that fabrication cost is higher than for a plain beam. Services can be passed through the gaps between the truss members to reduce overall floor depth.

  • 18. Cleddau Bridge • The Cleddau Bridge is a toll bridge on the A477 road that spans the River Cleddau between Neyland and Pembroke Dock, Wales. • Errors in the box girder design caused it to collapse during its construction in 1970. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Case study: Failure
  • 19. • It failed during its erection by cantilevering segments of the span, out from the piers. • The bridge was designed as a single continuous box girder of welded steel. • The span that collapsed was the second one on the south side. The boxes were fabricated in sections and moved over the previously built sections, aligned in place and welded. • The collapse occurred when the last section of box for the second span was being moved out along the cantilever. • This section slid forward down the cantilever buckled, at the support and collapsed into the river (Fig 2), killing four men, including the site-engineer. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames
  • 20. • Investigation of collapse showed that the collapse was due to the buckling of the diaphragm at the support (i.e., at the root of the second span being erected). • The diaphragm was torn away from the sloping web near the bottom. This caused reduction in the lever arm between flanges resisting negative bending moment at the support. • The tendency of the bottom flange to buckle was inevitably increased by the reduction of the distance between the flanges, as this increased the force needed in each flange to carry the moment with the reduced lever arm. • The support diaphragm was, in effect, a transverse plate girder, which carried heavy loads from the webs of the plate girder at its extreme ends and was supported by the bearings as shown in Fig 3.

  • 34. Assumptions Behind Truss Analysis • Truss members are connected at their ends only, and they are connected by friction-less pins. • So you don't have to consider any secondary bending moment induced do to force of friction. • Truss is loaded only at joints. • Weight of truss members can be neglected, compared to load acting on the truss. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Load Analysis
  • 35. • Force developed in a truss member is always axial. It can be either tensile, or compressive. • If a member is under tensile load, this will be the direction of internal force developed . • So you can notice that, under tensile load, internal force developed in the member is directed away from the joint. • Similarly in case of compressive force, the internal force developed in the member is directed towards the joint.

  • 38. While bamboo has been used for centuries, the traditional methods of lashing bamboo together are not appropriate for the design of long span trusses. • These lashed connections don’t fully utilize the full strength of bamboo member. • They rely solely on friction, the load transfer between members is limited and thus structures require more members to do the same job that one could if it were well connected. • Finally complex geometries with many members framing into one node or three dimensional space frames are difficult if not impossible to construct. Traditional Bamboo ConnectionLong Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Alternative MaterialsBamboo connections
  • 39. • Since all fibers in a bamboo run parallel once a bolt is placed through it and the connection loaded in tension, the bolt acts like a wedge and splits the bamboo. • Also the puncture allows moisture to enter the culm and accelerate decay • Based on the proprietary nature of the hubs, their installation requirements, and the desire to develop cost effective, simple connections, the research focused on an alternate connection type to eliminate these challenges. Modern Bamboo Connection These connections solve the issues of complex geometries by joining the members at a central hub. While they provide a standardized connection throughout a project, they are not readily available. Long Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Alternative MaterialsBamboo connections
  • 40. • This connection requires filling several hollow cells of the bamboo with concrete and embedding a threaded rod. • The new connection involves embedding a common steel reinforcing bar into a mortar filled bamboo culm and fillet welding several of these members to a steel gusset plate. • The inner surface of the bamboo is roughened to provide a bond between the mortar and the bamboo while avoiding puncturing the member. • Because the rebar is embedded in mortar, the load is transferred evenly across the member’s cross section and can transfer high axial loads to the bamboo. • Finally, the incorporation of the steel gusset plate makes the bamboo easy to connect in any configuration desired BAMBOO TRUSS STEEL GUSSET PLATE SECTION OF CONNECTIONLong Span Beams Long Span Trusses Portal Frames Modern techniques Bamboo connections

Portal frames were first developed during the Second World War and became popular in the 1960‘s They are now commonly used to create wide-span enclosures, where a clear space is required uninterrupted by intermediary columns. They were originally used because of their structural efficiency, meaning that large spaces could be enclosed with little use of materials and for a low cost. They tend to be lightweight and can be fabricated off site, then bolted to a substructure. The portal frames themselves may be left exposed to the internal space, and if carefully designed can be very beautiful.

Portal frame structures are often clad with prefabricated composite metal panels, incorporating insulation. Masonry cladding may be provided at low level to give greater resilience and security. A secondary framework of purlins fixed to the rafters and rails fixed to the columns provides support for cladding. Generally, a building structure will be formed by a series of parallel portal frames running down the length of the buildings, typically 6 to 8m apart.
