Specifications

a. Length of purlins
L = 37.4 m
b. Slope of roof
θ = tan-1 (2.5/5.6) = 24°
c. Inclined Length of Roof
Inclined length = √2.52 + 5.62 = 6.13 m
d. Purlin Spacing
Assuming 22 purlins will be used
S = 6.13/11 = 0.55 m
e. No of Lines of Sag Rod = 11
f. Roof Slope = (2.5/5.6)(100) = 44.64 %
g. Tributary Area of Purlin = 0.55(2.25) = 1.24 m2
h. Spacing of Each Truss = 2.25 m

Purlin Dead Load: C8x18.75 = 28.0 𝑚 × 9.81 𝑠2 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟕𝟓 𝒎

Calculation of Loads:
Wind Load = (Wind Pressure)(Inclined Length)(Spacing of each truss)
Wind Load = -1.06(6.13)(2.25) = -14.62 kN
Dead Load (Exclusive of Purlins) = Deck: 0.09 kPa
Roof: 0.05 kPa
Total: 0.14 kPa
Total Dead Load = 0.14(6.13)(2.25) = 1.93 kN
Total Live Load = 1.0(6.13)(2.25) = 13.79 kN
Total Purlin Weight = 0.275(2.25)(22) = 13.61 kN

Estimate the truss weight as 10% of the other loads:

0.10(-14.62+1.93+13.79+13.61) = 1.471 kN

At an interior joint,
Pu = 1.2(8.11) + 1.6(2.76) + 0.5(-2.76) = 12.68 kN
