Abstract: In this project it is proposed to carry out the design of industrial roof truss of conventional steel as well as the cold formed steel structures using splice connections. Splices are therefore most often used when the structural element is required in longer length and also resistant the seismic force in structural elements. Industrial roof truss is designed manually for both conventional and cold formed steel as per codal provisions. Experimental Investigation is finally done for the Splice Connections with a specimen. The project is all about how the section is deduced and economical while using splice connections. Experimental and theoretical results indicate the significant reduction in member and deflection with incremental increase of ultimate load carrying capacity. Finally a comparative study will be done based on seismic performance, cost and weight of steel member for cold formed section & conventional steel section with and without splice connection.
