DESIGN OF PURLINS PROCEDURE
I. PRINCIPLES
1. Roof purlins that are part of a sloping system can be subjected to biaxial bending. (Steel Design
5th Edition, Segui, p. 272)
2. It is assumed that the purlins are simply supported at the trusses although appreciable
continuity may be achieved at their splices when continuous over two or more trusses.
