Timber Purlin Checks

The proposed timber purlin with dimensions of 50 x 200 mm Grade C24 wood is suitable for its intended use spanning 2 meters under a uniform loading of 1.85 kN/m^2. All design checks for bending, deflection, shear, and bearing stress are within acceptable limits with unity factors ranging from 0.51 to 0.98.
