Structural

Hello,

Has anyone been involved in design of roof BSS spanning more than 35 meters?
Does any international design code provide a methodology for design of such structures?
And are there any thumb rules on what can be the steel saving when compared to a simple beam or truss for the same span?

Best regards,
Su
