To achieve the most optimized design for any structure the material which we are using must be utilized to its full capacity for most critical load cases. In this research the optimization of three different types of truss geometries (Fink, Howe and Pratt Truss) with three different spans (small- 10m, medium – 25m, large – 20m) with two different types of cross sections (Pipe and Tube) by Fully Stressed Design (FSD) approach in STAAD. Pro CONNECT Edition V22 update 9 has been performed. The total 18 number of trusses have been optimized in this study to achieve a target stress of 250 MPa with considering steel sections from IS steel table for selecting the most suitable cross section. Each truss has been subjected to 23 types of load cases. The optimized self-weight of all the trusses for each case and maximum nodal displacement for each case have been calculated. Results of the study will be helpful in the selecting and designing of a truss that must fulfil the requirement of economy as well as strength.
