ABSTRACT: This study deals with the design of single storey light gage steel structure using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) approach. LRFD is considered a more rational way of designing steel structures than the conventional approach and therefore is deemed as the state of the art approach in steel design. A uniform reliability and a resulting uniform economical structure can be obtained for some load combinations and structural configurations. The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) provides the applicable specification for LRFD light gage steel design. This specification is now being used in the United States, Canada, Mexico and other developed countries. A previous study conducted by Armando L. Miranda entitled Design of Single Storey Structure Using Light Gage Steel focuses on the design of light gage steel structure using Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method rather than LRFD. The study aimed to compare light gage steel with other construction materials like wood and the conventional hot-rolled steel, respectively. That was a clear indication that cold formed materials are effective for low-stressed members. Substantial economy can also be achieved with mass production of the materials and can be more effective if the design basis has been obtained. This study aims to evaluate the reliability and economics of LRFD when used in the design of single storey structure utilizing light gage steel. Likewise, the research would like to provide design procedures, guidelines and standards based on available 2001 LRFD North American Specification (NASPEC) The study revealed that the channel stiffened section is the lightest and strongest section for beams and purlins while the tubular section is the optimal section for columns and truss members. A weight ratio of less than 17.4% was obtained when LRFD method was utilized in the design. This shows that LRFD approach is still reliable and practical to use when applied to thin elements. Excel program enabled the researcher to provide design aids and tables for different cold formed sections from the ASEP steel handbook and manufacturer's brochure. These design aids would be helpful to professors, structural designers and engineering practitioners.
