Purlins

The document discusses the design of purlins for a roof truss. It provides dimensions and specifications of the truss and roof. It then calculates loads on the purlins from dead load, live load, and wind load. Finally, it selects a 2x4 C-channel purlin and verifies it has sufficient strength based on the calculated bending stresses.

DESIGN OF PURLINS

Purlin Design 3/25/2022 13:55

a = 5.0625 m
Truss length = 10.125 m b = 2 m
Truss Ht. = 2 m c = 5.485 m
Bay length = 2.333 m Ce = 0.63
Slope = 21.555 deg Cqpress = 0.3
Purlin Spacing = 0.6 m Cqsuct = -0.9
Heigth of roof = 5 m I = 1
Qs = 1500 Pa
Dead loads:
Tile roof Span = 72 Pa Total DL = 140 Pa
Purlins & acc. = 68 Pa
Live loads:
Construction load = 1000 Pa
Wind load: ( P = CeCqQsI )
Psuctn = -850.5 Pa
Ppress = 283.5 Pa

Normal loads per ln. mtr. Tangential loads per ln. mtr.
DL = 77.5296 N/m DL = 30.629 N/m
LL = 553.783 N/m LL = 218.778 N/m
WLsuctn = -510.3 N/m
WLpress = 170.1 N/m

Load Combination: ( DL + LL )
Wn = 631.313 N/m Wt = 249.407 N/m

Mn = 429.521 N-m Mt = 169.687 N-m

Try 2" x 4" C- purlins ( C4 x 5.4 )

Sx = 31500 cu.mm Sy = 4700 cu.mm

FBx = 13.6356 Mpa Fby = 36.1036 Mpa

FBtotal = 49.73922 Mpa < 123.6 Mpa
