ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF TRUSSES AND PURLINS

PURLINS Instructions
1 LOADING Input Data: Green Cells
1.1 DEAD LOADS (ROOF LOAD) Output Data: Orange Cells

Roof type: EGA500 with thickness(mm)= 0.4

Weight(kg/m)= 3.14
width(m)= 0.782
Weight/width(kg/m/m)= 4.015
Area load(kn/m/m)= 0.039

-Use 25*25*2.5 SHS section lattice type purlins.


Area(mm2)= 209
Truss spacing(m)= 6.4
Weight(kg/m)= 1.64
Purline depth(m)= 0.25
Purline spacing(m)= 1.2
Distributed Area load(kn/m/m)= 0.031

Allowing 20% increase for laps and fastenings,

Dead weight of the roof cover(Gk)= 0.084 kPa

1.2 LIVE LOAD

Roof angle in degrees= 8


Distributed live load, qk= 0.25 kPa

1.3 WIND LOAD

Height to top of building, z (m)= 18


Air density,ρ(kg/m^3)= 1
Reference wind velocity,Vref(m/s)= 22

Stream velocity pressure, qz (kN/m2)=(0.5*ρ*(Vref)^2)/1000= 0.242

Terrain category= 4
Kt= 0.24
Zo(m)= 1
Zmin(m)= 16
Roughness coef. Cr(z)= 0.69

Topographic coef. Ct(z)= 1

Exposure coef. Ce(z)= 1.65

External and internal pressure coefficients, Cpe & Cpi

Thus, design wind pressure,

Wnet = (Cpe - Cpi) qz* Ce(z)

Wnet 8 -0.75 0.22 -0.45 -0.61

Maximum Suction Wnet= -0.75 kPa


Maximum Pressure Wnet= 0.22 kPa

2. LOAD COMBINATIONS

a)1.3Gk + 1.6Qk= 0.510 kPa (Pressure case)

b)0.8(1.3Gk + 1.6Qk + 1.6Wnet)= 0.693 kPa (Pressure case)

c)0.9Gk + 1.3Wnet= 0.366 kPa (Pressure case)

d)0.8(1.3Gk + 1.6Qk + 1.6Wnet)= -0.551 kPa (Suction case)

e)0.9Gk + 1.3Wnet= -0.898 kPa (Suction case)

Therefore, our design load is = -0.898 kPa Upward


3. DESIGN OF PURLINS

Allowable design stress of steel(Mpa)= 300


-Use lattice type purlins

-Use 25*25*2.5 SHS section lattice type purlins.

Area(mm2)= 209
Truss spacing(m)= 6.4
Weight(kg/m)= 1.64
Purline Depth(m)= 0.25
Purline spacing(m)= 1.2

Load on purlin=design load*perline spacing= -1.077 kn/m Upward


(Including puline weight)

Load on purlin=design load*perline spacing= -1.115 kn/m Upward


(Without puline weight)

Pd= -1.077 kn/m

L(m)= 6.4

R1=Design Load * Span/2= -3.45 KN

-1.077 kn/m
m
d= 0.25

R1(KN)= -3.45 L/2(m)= 3.2

SMa=0=d*T+0.5*Pd*(L/2)2-(L/2)R1=0
Solving the above equation:

T(KN)= 18.35

d max (Mpa)= T/A= 87.8 Ok!

-Use 25*25*2.5 SHS section lattice type purlins.
