Roof Design Details from Architecture Drawing 3° < 10°

Considered as
Klip Lok 406 metal deck roofing at 3° pitch flat roof
1 layer double sided “MONIER” alumn. foil radient
heat barrier with chicken wire mesh
“C” channel purlin
Galvanised iron capping
Galvanised iron flashing
Grade 43 Steel

PURLINS DESIGN
Purlin spacing = 0.55 m
Purlin span = 3.4 m
Klip Lok 406 metal roof deck = 0.06 kN/m2
Heat barrier with wire mesh = 0.10 kN/m
Self-weight of purlin = 0.25 kN/m

Dead load
gk = 0.06 kN/m2 x 0.55m x 3.4m = 0.11 kN
= 0.10 kN/m x 3.4m = 0.34 kN
= 0.25 kN/m x 3.4m = 0.85 kN
Total = 1.30 kN

Live load
Part 1
qk = 1.5 kN/m2 x 0.55m x 3.4m = 2.80 kN
Section 6
Design load
DL = 1.4 gk + 1.6 qk
= 6.3 kN

M = Moment
= 6.3 x 3.4/8
= 2.68 kNm

Zx = Elastic modulus (py=275 N/mm2)

= (2.68 x 1000) / 275
= 9.74 cm3

Provide 76 x 38 channel x 6.7 kg/m. Zx = 19.5 cm3

Ix = 74.1 cm4
