Cold Formed Steel Sections are used widely in buildings, automobile equipment, railway coaches, storage racks, transmission poles, etc. It is used for construction mainly for its ease in mass production and fabrication, uniform quality, light weight with quick and simple erection and installation. Main objective of this paper is to analyze and design a Pratt Truss made of Cold Formed Section in a cyclonic region. Provisions from IS 875 (Part III): 2015 were considered for the analysis of wind load in cyclone prone region. The truss was analyzed using STAAD.Pro and the axial forces were validated using Joint Method approach of truss analysis. Load Combinations from Working Stress Method and Limit State Method was considered for the design of truss. Provisions from IS 801:1987 was considered for the design of Cold Formed Steel Truss and the section properties were considered from IS 811:1975. Utility ratio calculated using manual calculations and obtained from STAAD results were compared and found to be approximate.
