Specifications

a. Length of purlins
L = 37.4 m
b. Slope of roof
θ = tan-1 (2.5/5.6) = 24°
c. Inclined Length of Roof
Inclined length = √2.52 + 5.62 = 6.13 m
d. Purlin Spacing

S=0.6 m

No. of purlins=6.13/0.6=10.22=11pcs

Assuming 22 purlins will be used

S = 6.13/11 = 0.55 m
e. No of Lines of Sag Rod = 11
f. Roof Slope = (2.5/5.6)(100) = 44.64 %
g. Tributary Area of Purlin = 0.55(2.25) = 1.24 m2
h. Spacing of Each Truss = 2.25 m

Calculation of Loads:
Tributary width for each sag rod = 2.25/2= 1.125 m

Tributary area for deck and built-up roof = 1.125(6.13)=6.9 𝑚2

Tributary area for liveload = 1.125(6.13)=6.9 𝑚2

Deadload (Deck and Roof)= (0.09+0.05)(6.9)=0.966kN

Liveload = 1.0(6.13)=6.13kN

Total Purlin Weight = 1.125(0.275)(11)= 3.4 kN

Total Dead load=0.966+3.4=4.36kN

Tributary area for windload = 1.125(4.5)=5.06 𝑚2

Total Wind load = 5.06(1.06)=5.36 kN

Combination 3: 1.2D+1.6Lr+0.5W Section 203.3.1 NSCP 205

Combination 203-3

Total load =1.2(0.966)+1.6(6.13)+0.5(5.36)=13.65kN
