Hiren J. Chavda

Abstract: The B.I.S. recently revised the new IS: 800-2007 . This is based on limit state method. This new code includes variety in elements like tension members, compression members , flexural members, combined connection, combined axial and bending design of members. The B.I.S. has yet not published any design aids based on new IS: 800-2007. For saving time in various design of structural steel section, one need to have their own computer programme or design aids or spreadsheet which is based on IS: 800- 2007. In this research we have developed excel programme spreadsheet to analyze & design tension members, which will help the structural designer to save their time in designs. Also we have prepared design aids to find out the capacity on angled tension member with single row of bolts connected to the gusset plate.
