DESIGN OF PURLINS

C 5 x 6.7 purlins
A36 Steel; Fy = 248 Mpa
Weight = 13.40 kg/m
Sx = 58.33 x 103 mm3
Sy = 7.33x 103 mm3
Spacing of Purlins = 0.8m
Slope = 12o
Roofing Live Load = 1000 Pa
G.I. Rib Type = 57.5 Pa
Wind load normal to centroid = 2442 Pa
Purlin has full lateral support by roofing above (Compact)
Load Combination: (considering Lr as the only Live Load)
U = 1.2D + 1.6 Lr + 0.5W
 1.2D = 1.2 (57.5(0.8) + 10(9.81))
= 172.92 N/m

0.5W = 0.5(1720.86)(0.8) = 688.344 N/m

 1.6 Lr = 1.6(1000)(0.8) = 1280 N/m

WN = 1.6L + (1.2D+0.5W) cos ᴓ

1280 + (172.92 + 688.344) cos12
WN = 2122.44 N/m
WT = (1.2D+0.5W) sinᴓ
(172.92 + 688.344) sin12
WT = 179.07 N/m
Simple span (L) =4m
Mx = WN (L)2 /8
= 2122.44 (4)2 / 8
= 4244.88 Nm
My = = WT (L)2 /8
= 179.07 (4)2 / 8
= 358.14 Nm

fbx = Mx / Sx = 4244.88 (1000)/ 49.10 x 103

= 86.45 Mpa
fby = My / Sy = 358.14 (1000)/ 6.21 x 103
= 57.67 Mpa

Purlin has full lateral support by roofing above (Compact)

Fbx = 0.66Fy = 0.66(248) = 163.68 MPa
Fby = 0.75Fy = 0.75(248) = 186 Mpa

Check adequacy by Interaction equation:

𝑓𝑏𝑥 𝑓𝑏𝑦
+ ≤1
𝐹𝑏𝑥 𝐹𝑏𝑦
86.45 57.67
(163.68) + ( 186 ) ≤ 1

0.8382 ≤ 1

Therefore, the section is ADEQUATE.
