Abstract

Due to siege imposed on Gaza Strip since 2007 and the prevention of importing specific steel sections to the Strip. This situation has led to a change in standard steel prices. It is known that there is a direct correlation between the weight of steel sections and their prices i.e. heavier steel sections are associated with higher prices and vice versa. However, prices of steel sections in Gaza Strip are subject to change according to their availability. In other words, light steel sections can be more expensive than heavier ones. The major aim of this research is to investigate the best and most economical steel section to be used in Gaza Strip according to availability and local prices. Throughout this study, steel sections which are permitted to enter Gaza Strip have been used in this work such as L section, T section, I section, Square and Pipe sections. This research is a parametric study of different sections that can be used in the design of Howe roof truss subjected to vertical loads and later identifying the cheapest steel section to be used in Gaza, Palestine.
