Roof Load Calculation :

1 Preliminary Data
1.1 Building Dimension
Height of the Building (including the truss structure) 6.5 m
Width Of the Building (W) 21.42 m
Length of the Building (l) 15.32 m
Pitch Height 1 m
Angle 8.3 degree
Longest span of Purlin 7.40 m
Spacing of Purlin 0.99 m
1.2 Material Property
Stress of the Steel Section 250 Mpa

2 Load Calcualtion
2.1 DL Loads
Weight of Roofing Materials 200 N/m2
Tiles/Water proofing N/m2
Purlins @ 0.99 m c/c N/m2
Other accessories 50 N/m2
Total DL 250 N/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m 0.25 KN/m

2.2 IL (750 N/m2) (IS 875 - PART 2)

reduce for inclination of roof by 0.02 kN/m2 for every degree
rise of slope beyond 10 degrees.
Hence the live load intensity= 750-(20*(8.3-10)) 784 N/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m 0.78 KN/m

2.3 Wind Load (IS 875 - PART 3)

Design wind speed, Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3
Basic Wind Speed, Vb 47 m/s
k1 (Since the building is a hospital Building) 1
k2 (Category 1 and Class A) 1
k3 (for slope less than 3 degree) 1
or, Vz = 47x1x1x1=47 47.00 m/s
Design wind pressure, Pz = 0.6*Vz 2
1325.40 N/m2

Wind Load, F = (Cpe-Cpi)*Pd*A

h/w= 0.303 and L/w=0.715 and angle 8.3 Degree
From table 5 (1S 875- Part 3) for the angle 0 degree

900(cpe4)
E G
0 cpe1
0 00 Cpe3
F H

EF (Cpe1) 900(cpe2) -0.8

(GH) Cpe3 -0.4
Cpe -0.8
 EG (Cpe2) -0.75
(FH )Cpe4 -0.6
Cpe -0.75

Similarly, Cpi = (the opening area is considered to be less

than 20% of the wall area ) 0.5
here, h/w = 6.096m/8m = 0.762
Maximum Wind Load per unit area = F =(cpe±Cpi) xPz
In Wind ward direction F=(-0.8 - 0.5 )x1325.4 -1723.02 N/m2
In Lee ward direction F=(-0.75 - 0.5 )x1325.4 -1656.75 N/m2

In Wind ward direction F=(-0.8 + 0.5 )x1325.4 -397.62 N/m2

In Lee ward direction F=(-0.75 + 0.5 )x1325.4 -331.35 N/m2

Maximum Wind Load per unit area -1723.02 N/m2

Load per m in Purlin,w -1.71 KN/m

3 Design of Purlins:
3.1 Considering wind and DL combination.
Longest span of Purlin 7.4 m
Spacing of Purlin 0.99 m
The Critical load combination would be (DL+WL) uplift -1.45 kN/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m -1.47 KN/m
Maximum Moment = -10059887.2 kN/m
Section Modulus Required, Zreq = 27504.8 mm3
yield stress of steel = 250 Mpa
3.2 Considering DL and IL combination.
Longest span of Purlin 7.4 m
Spacing of Purlin 0.99 m
The Critical load combination would be (DL+IL) 1.034 kN/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m 1.04444444444 kN/m
Maximum Moment = 7149222.22222 Nmm
Section Modulus Required, Zreq = 25997.172 mm3
Thus, Choose SHS 1.5" (THK. 3.60 mm) yield stress of steel = 250 Mpa
