PURLIN DESIGN

Span of the purlin = 6.25 m

Spacing of the purlin = 1.40 m
No. of Sag rods = 0 No
Slope of the Roof = 0o

Try 122 X61 X3.6 Purlin

Yield stress of material 310 KG/CM2

Permissible stress of material 186 KG/CM2
Width, b 61 mm
Depth of section d 122 mm
Thickness t 3.6 mm

Area 12.32 cm2

Zxx 38.13 cm3 Section Modulus about Major Axis
Zyy 25.84 cm3 Section Modulus about Minor Axis
Ixx 232.61 cm4 Moment of Inertia about Major Axis
Iyy 78.83 cm4 Moment of Inertia about Minor Axis

Purlin Weight 9.670 kg/sqm

Weight of sheeting = 1.40 x 4.5

= 6.30 kg/m
Self weight of purlin (say) = 9.67 kg/m

Total dead load (DL) = 15.97 kg/m

Total live load (LL) = 75 x 1.4

= 105 kg/m
DL + LL = 121.0 kg/m

Wind load uplift force = 0.8 x 91 x 1.4

= 101.92 kg/m
Net uplift force = 101.92 - 15.97 x cos 0
= 86

Under DL +LL condition

Mxx = 121.0 x Cos 0 x 6.250 x 6.25
8
= 590.67 kg/m

Myy = 121.0 x Sin 0 x 6.25 x 6.25

8
= 0 kg/m

Fbc = 59067 0
+
38.13 25.84
= 1549.1 < 1860 kg/cm2
Therefore O.K.

Under Uplift condition

Mxx = 86.0 x 6.3 x 6.3
8
= 419.68 kg/m

Myy = 16.0 x Sin 0 x 6.25 x 6.25

8
= 0 kg/m

Fbc = 41968 0
+
38.13 25.84
= 1100.6 < 1860 x 1.33
= 1100.6 < 2473.8 kg/cm2 (Stresses increase by 33% in wind case)
Therefore O.K.
