Prof. Dr. S.Seren GüvenThe widespread using area of the steel especially for industrial and multi-storey buildings in our country is increasing. The continuous usage of the steelgenerates the necessity of using technological developments for analysis, design andpractice.In this thesis study, a truss beam-column frame system and single storygabled frame system and two storey building have been analyzed, designed andprojected. Industrial buildings have been analyzed and designed under static loads(dead and snow) and wind loads. Two storey building has been analyzed anddesigned under static loads (dead and live) and seismic loads. Analysis and design ofconstructions are executed with the aid of general purpose SAP2000 computerprogram, which use finite elements method for analysis.Key Words: Steel constructions, SAP2000, Design of carrier system, frame, trussII
