Abstract
The economic importance of irrigation systems to the national economy justifies a closer study of steel frame structures. Measurements are recorded over an extended period at a representative site within irrigation systems. The optimum configuration yields a saving of some 54% in material compared with the standard design. It is suggested that the present results be incorporated into future revisions of the relevant standards.
