DESIGN DATA: 2. Weight of Pu

Span of Truss = 9 meter
Rise of Truss = 1.4 meter
Bay Length = 4 meter
Spacing of Purlins = 1.125 meter

LOAD CARRIED BY THE TRUSS

A. WIND LOAD
B. DEAD LOAD AND LIVE LOAD

A. WIND LOAD

Since the windward side is more critical for

wind loading, the combination of dead load,
roof live load and windward wind load
provides the governing design condition for
purlins.

A 781.00 mm2 flange:

Ix 691.00 x10³mm4 d/tw = 17.72 >
Iy 83.00 x10³mm4 Therefore, the section is compact.

Wp = (6.14kg/m) (9.81N/kg) CHECK AGAINST FLEXURE:

Wp = 60.23 N/m fa ≤
solve for Lc:
200bf/ √Fy = 454.66 mm
137900/ (d/Af)Fy = 1802.56 mm
use smaller value:
Lc = 454.66 mm
Lb = 400.00 mm (Assumed Brace Length)
Since the member is compact section and Lc > Lb, use Fa = 0.66Fy
fa = [ (MN/Sx)+(MT/Sy) ]
fa = 257.92 MPa

LOADS NORMAL TO THE ROOF SURFACE: Fa = 0.66 Fy

Wp + Wr Fa = 163.68 MPa

fa = 257.92

faN/Fax + faT/Fay = 1.47

170/√Fy = 10.80
1680/√Fy = 106.68 faN/Fax + faT/Fay = 1.47 >

erefore, the section is compact. Therefore, purlins is not adequate.

ECK AGAINST FLEXURE: CHECK AGAINST DEFLECTION:

ΨT = WTL4/384EIy
ΨT = 14.18 mm

Ψmax actual = √ (ΨN) 2+ (ΨT) 2

Ψmax actual = 16.15 mm
> Fa = 163.68
Therefore, failure. Ψmax actual = 16.15 <
Therefore the section is safe.

CONCLUSION:

use C3 x 4.1 as purlins for both main trusses and hip

CTION USING INTERACTION EQUATION:

0.66 Fy , Along strong axis

163.68 MPa

re, purlins is not adequate.

AGAINST DEFLECTION:

Ψallow = L/240
Ψallow = 16.67 mm

Ψallow = 16.67 mm
efore the section is safe.
