Hello!
I would like to hear your recomendations how to decrease utilization factor in bracing and rafters without unnecessary bigger sections.
Maybe I am missing something in my model, some fatal error that messes with everithing.
Is there a way to put plate stiffeners on top or bottom beam flanges?
How can I add eaves or appex haunch to the model just like in picture bellow?

You can put the cover plates on the flanges, however, such sections cannot be designed in STAAD.Pro by EC3.Haunches can be modeled as a separate members connecting beam and column. Regretfully, but there is no specific haunch member type in STAAD.Pro.You can decrease the utilization ratio by increasing the steel yield strength. You may also use a Tension Only spec for the braces to consider only axial tension. This would decreases the utilization ratio, but your need to make sure that this would be a valid assumption in your model.
Do you mean with tapered beam?
I already use S355 steel.
I just noticed here that you can add top or botom plate to the beam... Isnt that just what I need?
I tried to compile beam analysis with cover plate in EC3 and it does not work as you said. Then I tryed BS:5950 2000 and it compiled. Are there any major diferences in those two standards or I dont have to worry about that?
EC3 and BS5950 are 2 different design codes, so the design results will be different for sure.
