COMPARISON OF STEEL FRAME ELEMENTS DESIGN USING SP16.1330.2017 AND AISC

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of design guidelines for steel design elements as stipulated by the American Institute of Steel Construction and Russian Standers. By evaluating these prominent design codes, the aim is to identify similarities, differences, and potential implications on the structural behaviour and performance of steel truss systems. The analysis encompasses crucial aspects such as load combinations, material properties, member design, stability checks, and connection design. The study critically examines both specifications, highlighting their strengths and limitations, in order to provide valuable insights for structural engineers and designers when selecting an appropriate design code for steel truss elements, considering factors such as project location, regulatory requirements, and design objectives.
