The structural performance of steel roof systems is a critical consideration in design and construction of modern buildings. Single and double-layer steel roofs offer advantages in terms of weight, cost, and structural efficiency. However, the effectiveness of these systems is influenced by the grid pattern employed. It will create a  comparative database of flat steel roofs through analysis and optimization of patterns, and hence identify the most effective patterns in terms of span, load distribution, structural stability, and material efficiency. It will provide insights for engineers, for designing steel roof structures leading to safer, cost effective and sustainable building.
