DESIGN OF PURLINS

Unsupported Length 3m Material Properties

Bay Length 0.60 m Section: [ 4" x 2" x 1.5 mm thick
3
Wind Zone 2 Sx = 9600 mm
Exposure Category B A36 Fy = 248 MPa
Importance Factor 1 E= 200,000 MPa

Design Loads
Dead Load = 250 Pa x 0.6 m = 150 N/m
Wpurlin = = 50 N/m
Total Dead Load = = 200 N/m
Live Load = 950 Pa x 0.6 m = 570 N/m
Wind Load = 900 Pa x 0.6 m = 540 N/m

For Compact Section

Fbx = 0.66Fy
Fbx = 163.68 MPa

Analysis
WN = 1275.41 N/m
MN = 1434.84 N-m
fbx = 149.46 MPa < 163.68 MPa

Allowable Flexural Stress, Fbx = 163.68 MPa < Actual fb

Therefore SAFE

Adopt [ 4" x 2" x 1.5 mm thick purlins
