This document discusses establishing rough estimates of structural steel quantities for different types of steel buildings and structures. It provides initial steel quantity estimates per square meter for multi-story buildings of different heights. It also gives steel quantity estimates in kg/m3 for piperacks and discusses Indian codes that provide more detailed steel quantity data for structures like trusses and portal frames.

Post subject: Structural Quantity Estimate for Steel buildings -
Dear Sefians, I need to know the rough estimate quantity for the building and steel structures. For the structures like, Joined: 28 Jun 2010 Posts: 466 Location: chennai
Work shop building without crane - (xx) T/m
Work shop building with crane - (xx) T/m Simple Piperack Structure - (xx) T/m Piperack Structure with Air fin coolers at top etc., - (xx) T/m structural steel wt in Metric tonnes. Volumn of the building - L X B X H in m If you are having interms of Tonne/m length also ok. These details can be maintained by the experienced Engineers only. I too have some values for the above listed structure, before putting that here, I like to get the values from the other Experienced Engineers. If I put now all will comment and suggest based on that value only. The above value is not same through out the world, it depends on the design code, site location, construction material available, type of construction etc., Still we can have some rough value for each structure. Like a rule of thumb. After finishing our design we can cross check our design where we stand, whether overdesigned or it is economical design... If we get this one for all kinds of structure we can list here in SEFI. which will be very useful for the young Engineers who are working in design. Senior Engineers please give your opinion on this topic. Regards, G.Parthasarathy Chennai. [email protected]

Dear Er Parthasarathy, App. steel quantities for Steel multi storey buildings may be assumed as below: 3-4 storey building- 35-40 kg/m^2 6-8 storey building
40-50 kg/m^2
The dead weight of truss,inclusive of bracings may be assumed as about 10% of the weight it is going to support. Joined: 21 Feb 2008 Posts: 4865 Location: Gaithersburg, MD, U.S.A.
Formula for app. weight of truss is(when LL less than 2 kN/m^2)
w = 53.7 + 0.53 A where A is the area of one bay.

Dear NS Sir, Thanks for you reply. I also like to have the values for the sheds (steel structure). Regards, Joined: 28 Jun 2010 Posts: 466 Location: chennai

(thus 35 to 40 Kg/m2 is appropriate)
For raft foundation it will be higher in case of high rise. best regards vikramjeet

Dear MR.Vikram Jeet,
Thanks for giving the values. For concrete the estimate values are given in the codes (I think it is given in the code IS 2974) and books also, likewise for the steel structure any code or book is available? If yes please let me know. Joined: 28 Jun 2010 Posts: 466 Location: chennai
Dear W
alavalkar, Thanks for giving your opinion and values for the piperack. But I think it is for Indian code IS 800 and with Limit state method design. If possible givethe values for the other steel structures also.

For steel structures kindly see Indian standard IS SP-38 Handbook for typified designs for structures with steel roof trusses and IS SP-40 for steel portal frames Detailed Quatty for steel columns,base plates, trusses purlins Joined: 26 Jan 2003 Posts: 2212
and other components are also given alongwith design for
A type as well as LTR trusses in SP -38 (spans upto 30m) Quatty in terms of Kg/m2 is also available in both the codes. Best regards vikramjeet

Dear Er G Parthasarthy ji After checking from IS SP-38 for 24.0m span truss the exact weights are as under (for wind pressures 150 Kg/m2): Joined: 26 Jan 2003 Posts: 2212
www.sefindia.org :: View topic - Structural Quantity Estimate for Steel buildings - Thum... Page 6 of 7
Tubular /slope 1 in 5 /purlin spacing 4.5m
Span 9.0m weight = 14.1 kg/m2 Span 12.0m weight = 13.9 kg/m2 Span 18.0m weight = 14.1 kg/m2 Span 24.0m weight = 15.9 kg/m2 Span 30.0m weight = 17.3 kg/m2 Hope above data may be useful for estimation best wishes and regds vikramjeet -Posted via Email Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts
