Abstract

This chapter presents an optimal design of steel curved roof frames with its roof being part of a circular arc. The elements of frames are tapered I-section members. In the objective function for optimization, two factors affecting the weight of frames are considered simultaneously. Pitched roof steel frames are used in a wide range of span lengths that are usually considered as low-rise buildings. Pitched roof steel frames with tapered members are used in the construction of single-story building structures such as factories, warehouses, gymnasiums, hypermarkets, hangars, etc.
