INTRODUCTION

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OVER 12%

Our policy of continuous product development to meet
the markets needs has resulted in Ayrshire standardising
the grade of steel used for the main purlin and cladding
rail proles. Using the more effective S390 material, the
capacities have increased by over 12% for our popular
Zeta 1/ range. Improvements in performance are also

offered for our Zeta II and Zed ranges, together with our
complementary Eaves Beam and C sections.
As a result of these improvements and to simplify our product
portfolio, the need for the Zeta III prole has been substantially
reduced, and is now withdrawn from our range.
Full details of our re-focused range can be found on pages
4 and 5.
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
A comprehensive range of software is available on request,
dealing with both the design and detailing of purlin and
cladding rail systems.

PRODUCT GUIDE

The following information

is provided as a general
guide to the purlin and
cladding rail systems
available from Ayrshire
Metal Products (Daventry)
Ltd. It is intended to offer
indicative guidance to
the range of sections,
systems and ancillary
members produced,
and their proposed
applications.

HEAVY END BAY

BUTTED

ZED
Plain Zed offering simple construction details.
Fully compatible range of CW sections for framing
around openings.
Can be used as a purlin over small spans and steeper
roof pitches.

SYSTEMS

COMPLEMENTARY SECTIONS
SLEEVED

DOUBLE SPAN

Single spanning sections

with sleeves at alternate
supports. Sleeves act as
mechanical hinges to
provide maximum structural
efciency for the number of
components employed.
Single span purlins provide
manageable lengths on site.
Suitable for most building
applications.

Double spanning sections

with only a minimum
number of sleeves to
alternate purlins across the
penultimate support. Does
not give quite the same
strength capacity as the
Sleeved system, but uses
fewer components and is
therefore faster to erect.
Alternative to the Sleeved
system for spans up to
7.50m.

HEAVY END BAY

DOUBLE SPAN
HEAVY END BAY

Single spanning sections

with sleeves at all supports
providing a fully continuous
system. End bay sections
and sleeves increased in
gauge to compensate for
the lack of continuity at the
gable. High load carrying
capacity for larger spans
and/or heavier loadings.
Suitable as a purlin
system for buildings with
a large number of bays
(say 10 No.).

BUTTED
Single spanning sections
without sleeves.
Non continuous system.
Suitable where depth
constraints exist and
sections are xed
between supports.

Similar to Heavy End Bay

system, but using double
spanning interior purlin
lengths and fewer sleeves.
Does not give quite the same
strength capacity as the
Heavy End Bay system, but
uses fewer components and
is therefore faster to erect.
Alternative to the Heavy
End Bay system for spans
up to 7.50m.

PURLIN AND CLADDING RAIL

BRACING SYSTEMS
All Ayrshire purlin and cladding rail
systems, together with associated
complementary sections, are supported

ZETA HEAVY END BAY PURLINS

ZETA DOUBLE SPAN PURLINS

This system has been developed to utilise a minimum

number of components leading to maximum speed
of erection on site. The purlins are continuous over
two bays with simple connections at each support.
Joints are staggered with a minimum number of
sleeves being required across the penultimate
support of alternate purlin lines to maintain continuity
(see pages 4 and 5 for joint arrangement diagram).
The double span system does not quite achieve the
same strength capacity as the equivalent sleeved
system, but requires fewer components.

ZETA DOUBLE SPAN PURLINS WORKING LOAD CAPACITIES IN kN

Self wt kg/m

This system is usually more advantageous for

longer spans and/or heavier loadings where there
are a minimum of six bays. Providing sleeves at
all supports increases the capacity by over 25%
compared to the equivalent sleeved system, with
sleeves at alternate joints.

ZETA HEAVY END BAY PURLINS WORKING LOAD CAPACITIES IN kN

Section No.

This is a fully continuous system with sleeves

provided at all supports. The end bay purlins and
sleeves to the penultimate support are increased
in gauge to compensate for the lack of continuity
across the gable, hence the name (see pages 4 and
5 for joint arrangement diagram).

ZETA SLEEVED PURLINS WORKING LOAD CAPACITIES IN kN

Self wt kg/m

This system utilises single bay purlin lengths joined

with connecting sleeves at alternate supports.

PURLIN ACCESSORIES

Where adequate lateral restraint is afforded by

steel sheeting screw xed to the purlin ange,
sag bars are not required to develop the load
capacities given on page 7.
To maintain the correct alignment and to help
prevent distortion of the purlin during sheeting,
sag bars should be tted in accordance with our
minimum recommendations shown in the table
opposite.

APEX TIE DETAILS

The same section used to form the

eaves tie is also available as a rafter stay
member, where these are specied by the
frame designer. A special cranked version
with a 20mm offset is used for Zeta purlins.

This may be done by providing an eaves

tie of the type shown, or in agreement with
the sheeting contractor, a temporary prop
may be used.

0C

For roof slope lengths in excess of 20m, it

may become necessary to introduce additional
supports along the roof slope in the form of
diagonal brace sections tied back to the rafters.
Details of the diagonal braces are shown on
page 13. Please consult the Technical Services
Department for further advice.

RAFTER STAYS

To ensure the rst purlin at eaves is kept

straight, particularly during the early
stages of sheeting, it is necessary to give
consideration to additional restraint to this
purlin, especially on spans of 5m or more.

GENERAL NOTES TO ALL

ZETA CLADDING RAIL SYSTEMS
Working load capacities for wind
pressure (wide, sheeted ange in
compression at mid span) are printed
on a blue background. These values
are derived from the Ultimate Load
Capacities given on pages 56-60
divided by 1.4.
Working load capacities for wind
suction (narrow, unsheeted ange in
compression at mid span) are printed
on a grey background. These values
are derived from the Ultimate Load
Capacities given on pages 56-60
divided by 1.4.
The tabulated values will give
deections not exceeding span/150.
The load capacities assume that the
rails support a screw xed, steel
cladding system. Reference must be
made to page 13 for information on
bracing requirements and limitations.
For applications where any other
type of cladding system is employed,
please consult our Technical
Services Department.

DIAGONAL
BRACE/
STANCHION FIXING

Fixing Cleat

All rails should be braced in accordance with the

recommendations shown below, to maintain alignment of the
sections.

The top of the diagonal brace

must be xed back to a rigid
point, generally the stanchion
ange.

Diagonal braces and vertical struts are not necessarily

required to develop the load carrying capacities given on
page 11, where screw xed steel cladding is employed.
They should, however, be provided to maintain alignment
during erection and cladding.

Diagonal Brace

Special consideration must be given to alternative cladding

constructions such as clip xed panels and glazing.
Please consult the Technical Services Department for further
information.

Where the diagional brace is tied

back to the stanchion via the
cladding rail cleat, i.e. using an
FB bracket as illustrated, the
structural adequacy of the cleat
must be conrmed.

This system is employed where continuity across
the supports either can not be provided, i.e. purlins
are within the depth of the rafter, or is not required to
achieve the necessary load carrying capacity.

This system is usually more advantageous for longer

spans and/or heavier loadings where there are a
minimum of six bays. Providing sleeves at all supports
increases the capacity by over 25% compared to the
equivalent sleeved system, with sleeves at alternate
joints.

This is a fully continuous system with sleeves provided

at all supports. The end bay purlins and sleeves to
the penultimate support are increased in gauge to
compensate for the lack of continuity across the
gable, hence the name (see pages 4 and 5 for joint

PURLIN ACCESSORIES

Where adequate lateral restraint is afforded by

steel sheeting screw xed to the purlin ange,
sag bars are required to develop the load
capacities given on page 15.
To maintain the correct alignment and to help
prevent distortion of the purlin during sheeting,
sag bars should be tted in accordance with our
minimum recommendations shown in the table
opposite.

ARRANGEMENT OF SAG BARS

RAFTER STAYS

To ensure the rst purlin at eaves is kept

straight, particularly during the early
stages of sheeting, it is necessary to give
consideration to additional restraint to this
purlin, especially on spans of 5m or more.
This may be done by providing an eaves
tie of the type shown, or in agreement with
the sheeting contractor, a temporary prop
may be used.

For roof slope lengths in excess of 20m, it

may become necessary to introduce additional
supports along the roof slope in the form of
diagonal brace sections tied back to the rafters.
Details of the diagonal braces are shown on
page 21. Please consult the Technical Services
Department for further advice.
Special consideration must be given to purlins
clad with any material other than screw xed
proled steel sheeting. These include bre
cement sheeting, standing seam clip x proles
and tiled roof constructions.

For ordering purposes, the Zeta II

cleat reference is followed by the
required sheeting line, eg: for a
bolt-on Zeta II cleat to suit a 225mm
purlin depth and a 232mm sheeting
line the reference is 2/B225/232.

3. the roof slope for purlins is

not greater than 30 degrees,
and cleats supporting
cladding rails are horizontal;
4. purlin/rail span not greater
than 9.0m;
then the cleat capacity should be
satisfactory.
For variations on any of the
above criteria, please consult our
Technical Services Department.
Capacity of weld-on and
bolt-on type cleats:
For spine in tension
(direction of forces as shown for
purlin) Mult = 2.50 kNm
For reverse condition
(spine in compression as shown

GENERAL NOTES TO ALL

ZETA II RAIL SYSTEMS
Working load capacities for wind
pressure (wide, sheeted ange in
compression at mid span) are printed
on an orange background.
These values are derived from the
Ultimate Load Capacities given on
pages 61-63 divided by 1.4.
Working load capacities for wind
suction (narrow, unsheeted ange in
compression at mid span) are printed
on a grey background. These values
are derived from the Ultimate Load
Capacities given on pages 61-63
divided by 1.4.
The tabulated values will give
deections not exceeding span/150.
The load capacities assume that the
rails support a screw xed, steel
cladding system. Reference must be
made to page 21 for information on
bracing requirements and limitations.
For applications where any other
type of cladding system is employed,
please consult our Technical Services
Department.

ZETA II BUTTED RAILS

This system is employed where continuity across
the supports either cannot be provided, i.e. rails are
within the depth of the column, or is not required to
achieve the necessary load carrying capacity

FIRESCREEN RAILS
All cladding and eaves rails
must be allowed to expand
during a re. Slotted holes with
both steel and nylon washers
under the bolt heads are
required.
The minimum allowance for
expansion should be 7mm/
metre length of rail. For rails up
to 7.5m span the gap between
rails is rounded to 50mm.
The maximum span and
spacing should be 7.5m and
2.0m respectively. Rails should

CONNECTION DETAIL

All rails should be braced in accordance with the following

recommendations to maintain alignment of the sections.
Diagonal braces and vertical struts are required to develop
the load capacities given on page 19.
Special consideration must be given to alternative cladding
constructions such as clip xed panels and glazing.
Please consult the Technical Services Department for
further information.

DIAGONAL

STANCHION FIXING
The top of the diagonal brace
must be xed back to a rigid
point, generally the stanchion

is tied back to the stanchion via
the cladding rail cleat, i.e. using
an FB bracket as illustrated, the
structural adequacy of the cleat
must be conrmed.

End Bay
Section

This system is usually more advantageous for longer

spans and/or heavier loadings where there are a
minimum of six bays. Providing sleeves at all
supports increases the capacity by over 25% compared
to the equivalent sleeved system, with sleeves at
alternate joints.

ZED HEAVY END BAY PURLINS WORKING LOAD CAPACITIES IN kN

Interior
Section

This is a fully continuous system with sleeves

provided at all supports. The end bay purlins and
sleeves to the penultimate support are increased in
gauge to compensate for the lack of continuity across
the gable, hence the name (see pages 4 and 5 for
joint arrangement diagram).

bars are required to develop the load capacities
given on page 23.
To maintain the correct alignment and to help
prevent distortion of the purlin during sheeting,
sag bars should be tted in accordance with our
minimum recommendations shown in the table
opposite.

For purlin spacings in excess of 2m, Heavy Duty Sag Bars should
be used as required.
* See section headed Eaves Tie and Fixing Bracket for guidance
on restraint to rst purlin at eaves.

RAFTER STAYS

To ensure the rst purlin at eaves is kept

straight, particularly during the early
stages of sheeting, it is necessary to give
consideration to additional restraint to this
purlin, especially on spans of 5m or more.

The same section used to form the

eaves tie is also available as a rafter stay
member, where these are specied by the
frame designer.

This may be done by providing an eaves

tie of the type shown, or in agreement with
the sheeting contractor, a temporary prop
may be used.

For roof slope lengths in excess of 20m, it may

become necessary to introduce additional supports
along the roof slope in the form of diagonal brace
sections tied back to the rafters. Details of the
diagonal braces are shown on page 29.
Please consult the Technical Services Department for
further advice.
Special consideration must be given to purlins clad
with any material other than screw xed proled
steel sheeting. These include bre cement sheeting,
standing seam clip x proles and tiled roof
constructions.

For ordering purposes, the Zed cleat reference is

followed by the required sheeting line, eg: for a bolt-on
Zed cleat to suit a 140mm purlin depth and a 147mm
sheeting line the reference is Z/B140/147.

3. the roof slope for purlins is not

greater than 30 degrees, and
cleats supporting cladding
rails are horizontal;
4. purlin/rail span not greater
than 9.0m;
then the cleat capacity should be
satisfactory.
For variations on any of the
above criteria, please consult our
Technical Services Department.
Capacity of weld-on and
bolt-on type cleats:
For spine in tension
(direction of forces as shown for
purlin) Mult = 2.50 kNm
For reverse condition
(spine in compression as shown
for rail) Mult = 1.20 kNm

GENERAL NOTES TO ALL

ZED RAIL SYSTEMS
Working load capacities for wind
pressure (wide, sheeted ange in
compression at mid span) are
printed on a green background.
These values are derived from the
Ultimate Load Capacities given on
pages 64-66 divided by 1.4.
Working load capacities for wind
suction (narrow, unsheeted ange in
compression at mid span) are printed
on a grey background. These values
are derived from the Ultimate Load
Capacities given on pages 64-66
divided by 1.4.
The tabulated values will give
deections not exceeding span/150.
The load capacities assume that the
rails support a screw xed, steel
cladding system. Reference must be
made to page 29 for information on
bracing requirements and limitations.
For applications where any other
type of cladding system is employed,
please consult our Technical Services
Department.

FIRESCREEN RAILS
All cladding and eaves rails must
be allowed to expand during a

heads are required.
The minimum allowance for
expansion should be 7mm/ metre
length of rail. For rails up to 7.5m
span the gap between rails is
rounded to 50mm.
The maximum span and
spacing should be 7.5m and
2.0m respectively. Rails should
generally be single span, but may
be sleeved to achieve continuity.

EAVES BEAM

EAVES BEAM
Ayrshires range of Eaves Beam sections
are designed to combine the function of purlin,
cladding rail and gutter support at the eaves
position.
The sections are 160mm and 240mm deep
and are available in three gauges, 2.0mm,
2.5mm and 3.2mm thick. They are
supported by a complete range of accessory
components and brackets to complement fully
our existing comprehensive range of Zeta,
Zeta II and Zed purlin and cladding
rail systems.

Design Equations
The following design equations allow a more
detailed analysis of Eaves Beam performance
using limit state design methods.

Deection limited
capacity (kN)

18

Vertical load (kN)

For vertical loading in the absence of horizontal

loading, a load factor of 1.6 has been used.
For combined horizontal and vertical loading, a load
factor of 1.2 has been used. For horizontal loading
in the absence of vertical loading, a load factor
of 1.4 has been used. Deections are limited to
span/200 for vertical loads. The following design
information assumes adequate restraint in both
axis. For a given span condition, load cases below
the relevant span line pass, load cases above the
relevant span line fail.

20

EAVES BEAM

The following design charts show allowable load

capacities based on single spanning members
with an eaves tie at mid span for spans up to 6.0m,
and eaves ties at third points for spans of 6.0m
and over. Load capacities vary for other eaves tie
congurations.

Ayrshire PJRs have been introduced to offer

a single, wide anged member to support
horizontal cladding panels at joint positions,
where minimum bearing width stipulations
would otherwise require the use of a
compound solution.
The sections are available from 140mm
to 200mm in depth, and are all a minimum
1.8mm thick to ensure that the ange is
sufciently stiff to allow the sheeters to x the
cladding panels.
The sections are designed to interconnect
with the similar depth Zed and CW sections
using the Inset cleats shown on page 39, and
provide a ush external and internal line.

The formulae given under

Sliding Anchor Fixing

BRICKWORK SUPPORTS
C sections are increasingly being used as restraint members
at the head of masonry walls. These members are often single
spanning, and generally deection critical as a result of tighter
permissible limits required when supporting masonry.

Countersunk holing is available

for the CW range of sections
to provide a ush surface for
window and access door frames.
Consult Ayrshire for further
information on counter punching.

The following formulae may be used to determine a suitable

section size for a single span, non-continuous rail. It is assumed
that the applied load is uniformly distributed, i.e. for a vertical
spanning masonry panel:

2. threaded rod with standard ties welded

CANTILEVERS/SHALLOW PITCHED ROOFS

It is sometimes necessary to extend purlins and cladding

rails beyond the gable frame creating a cantilever
condition. In this situation, the following points should
be considered:
1. The sections forming the cantilever must be
continuous across the gable frame. The stiffness of
the cantilever is improved if continuity is also provided
across the penultimate support (eg by providing a
sleeve).
2. The cantilever ends of the sections must be braced
to prevent lateral displacement. The Ayrshire strut
section indicated on pages 13, 21 or 29 can be
provided as a tie member. Alternatively, where the
cantilevered sections are to be clad, the inclusion of
cleader members to support the fascia cladding
should be sufcient.
3. For steep slopes i.e. > 20 for Zeta,
> 30 for Zeta II and Zed,

diagonal members should be located at the top

of the slope (or at the base for cladding rails) to
prevent displacement.
4. Cantilevers are generally deection rather than
strength critical. We suggest that deection of the
cantilever is checked for the worst relevent load
combination before conrming its strength capacity.

In this situation it is necessary to avoid a

potential build-up of lateral force in any one
direction due to the inclination of the principle
axes of the purlins. This can be achieved by
reversing alternate lines of section to face
each other. When sag bars are required in
accordance with the tables on pages 9, 17,
or 25 we recommend that pairs of sections
are braced together at the appropriate
positions (i.e. mid-span or third points) using a
standard Ayrshire strut section, VS1 or VS2.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

MONOPITCH ROOFS

MONOPITCH ROOFS
Where sag bars are required for a conventional
duo-pitched roof, in accordance with the tables on
pages 9, 17 or 25 they will also be required for a
monopitched roof.

Replace sag bars

between top two purlins
with strut and diagonal
brace system (sag bars
at mid span shown in
this illustration).

It is suggested that strut and diagonal bracing

sections are provided between the top two purlins
at the higher eaves. This acts as a substitute for the
apex tie member in a conventional duo-pitched roof
and ties the purlin system back to the steelwork.
Sag bars can be provided in the required manner
below these top two purlins.
An alternative solution is to provide an eaves tie
member at the high eaves position, xed back to a
suitable structural member capable of carrying the
downslope forces from the purlins.
It should be noted that where sag bars are not
required in accordance with the tables on pages
9, 17 or 25 (i.e. Zeta purlins in the majority of
applications), no sag bars are required to the
equivalent monopitched roof.

The use of cold rolled steel purlin systems to

support traditional tiled roof constructions has
become increasingly popular over recent years.
The following offers design and installation advice
with regard to the purlins in this situation.
Unlike a conventional screw xed steel cladding
system, a built up tiled roof construction is not
deemed to act as a diaphragm panel. Consequently,
the purlin sections must be designed for a bi-axial
bending condition, taking into account the
downslope forces. The timber rafters xed to
the top ange of the purlins are still considered
to provide full lateral restraint to that ange in
compression.
Struts are provided to act as supports to the
downslope forces as appropriate, with diagonal
braces to transfer these forces back to the
supporting steelwork. It should be noted that ties
across the apex are not required in this situation,
assuming the timber rafters are connected at the
ridge point.
Due to magnitude of
forces involved, we
suggest that the
diagonal braces are
fixed direct to the
steelwork.

CLEATS
Due to the increase in Dead loads
for a tiled roof construction, coupled
with a steeper roof slope, a check on
the suitability of Ayrshires standard
cleats (shown on pages 10, 18 or 26)
must be made, and a stiffener plate
provided where appropriate. Particular
care must be taken where the
diagonal braces are secured
back to the steelwork. Due to the
magnitude of force involved, it is
suggested that these are xed directly
to the steelwork ange.

The number of struts and diagonal bracings required

is a function of the geometry and loading conditions
in each individual case, and advice should be
sought from our Technical Services Department.

provides an accurate and economic design tool that

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

SERVICE SUSPENSION CLIPS

AND HANGERS
A proprietary range of clips and hangers for
supporting services are available in the market to suit
all Ayrshires purlin sections (see below left).
The effect of an applied point load on the purlin must
be checked. We suggest that these loads should be
recalculated as an equivalent udl applied to a simply
supported beam using the formula below:

= Pab
L

= 8M

P in kN

(in kN)

The capacities of the various clips and
hangers themselves are available from the
manufacturers. It should be noted, however,
that for clips supported off the bottom
ange of the purlin only, the maximum
applied loading should not exceed 15kg
(working load) to ensure that lateral
displacement of the purlin does not occur.
This is irrespective of any higher capacities
quoted by the clip manufacturers. Where
the loading exceeds 15kg, this load must
be transferred back to the web, or whole,
of the section using the appropriate part
wrap-around or total wrap-around bracket.

This equivalent udl can be compared with the

initial value taken at the preliminary design stage,
and any adjustments to the section size made
accordingly.

If an Eaves Beam section is employed as a gutter

beam is used purely as a gutter bearer, the section
is deemed to be laterally unrestrained, particularly
if subject to a nett wind uplift and horizontal

Certain types of sheeting are not deemed to

For shallow pitched roof applications ( < 3),
two sets of diametrically opposed diagonal
bracings should be provided, as a minimum,
to transfer the restraint forces back to the
supporting structure. For steeper slopes,
one set at eaves level should be provided
as a minimum. The total number of diagonal
bracings required, in one or both directions, is
a function of the roof slope length.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR HORIZONTAL CLADDING

Horizontally xed cladding provides the Engineer/Architect greater versatility in the use of proled
sheeting. Ayrshire Metal Products offer a number of solutions that provide simple, versatile and cost
effective support methods for this type of cladding system.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL GRILLAGE

Typical horizontally laid
composite cladding panel

Option 1. Vertical & Horizontal Grillage

Vertical Zed or CW Section

between horizontal rails

The most frequently employed detail involves the use of vertical rails xed between conventional
horizontal rails as illustrated in Figure 1.
Vertical Rails can be selected from the standard Zed or CW range using the Single Span Butted load
tables. For systems where a double bearing width or special capping detail is required at cladding
joint positions the introduction of a Panel Joint Rail (PJR) is required.

Standard HC Cleat (see Details)

connecting vertical and horizontal rails

In this arrangement the vertical rails act as struts and a diagonal brace system is required for the
horizontal rails, (see Figure 2. Bracing Arrangement on opposite page).
In this situation the horizontal rails must be designed as laterally unrestrained between the cleat and
vertical rail positions. Our AyrSuite Plus 4 integrated software suite (CD available on request), may
be used for this purpose.
Standard Cleats
Ayrshire have developed a range of standard cleats to allow a choice of vertical rail to be incorporated into the support system. A cost effective solution can be achieved using pairs of HC style
galvanised inset cleats. (see Table 1. Cleat Selector).
For standard horizontal rail alignment (i.e. unsheeted ange points up), use cleats with B sufx,
(e.g. HC2B) at the bottom of the vertical rail and cleats with T sufx, (e.g. HC2T) at the top end.

Option 2: Structural Top Hat Solution
A similar solution to the vertical rail/PJR arrangement but using fewer components and xings.

STRUCTURAL TOP HAT SOLUTION

The use of a Top Hat section spanning between the conventional horizontal rails, and xed to the
outer ange removes the need for HC cleats and reduces the number of bolt xings required by up
to 20%.

Top Hat sections fixed

to the flanges of the
horizontal rails.
No cleats required.

A separate bracing support system (Restraint Struts and Diagonal Bracing) is required for the
horizontal rails to afford restraint and maintain alignment during construction. A Panel Joint Top Hat
is also available for cladding joint positions.
The Top Hat prole can be connected to the full range of Ayrshire sections, primarily Zeta, Zeta II,
Zed and CW ranges.

Restraint Strut and Diagonal Brace

system required to restrain the
horizontal rails as appropriate.

It should be noted that the horizontal rails in this situation are not restrained by the cladding system,
and a separate restraining system in the form of restraint struts is required. Please consult our
Technical Services Department for advice.
Alternatively, our AyrSuite Plus 4 integrated software suite may may be used to design laterally
unrestrained sections. This program is available on request.

C STANCHION

Vertical spanning rails may be designed to span between a structural top and bottom member, and
across any intermediate members as appropriate. In this solution, ties between pairs of sections
should be provided to prevent lateral displacement under loading.
Option 4: Mini-zed spacers in the cavity of a built-up cladding system
If a built-up cladding system is employed, the liner panel can be xed vertically in the conventional
way, with mini-zed spacers spanning vertically between rails. The horizontal outer sheet can then be
xed to these spacer bars. This solution assumes that the vertical liner is aesthetically acceptable,
and the mini-zed spacer bar is structurally capable of spanning between the horizontal rails. It should
be noted that, in this situation, the horizontal rails are restrained laterally and the published load
tables in our Purlin Design Manual are applicable.

Note: The deection values tabulated are in some cases greater than the ultimate strength capacity of the section. This is to
facilitate the calculation of loads governed by other deection limits. In no case should the factored loads exceed the Gravity Load
or Wind Uplift capacities as appropriate.

Capacities labelled Wind Uplift represent the strength limit state of purlins or rails where the smaller, unsheeted ange is in
compression at mid-span. These values must be equal to, or greater than the worst combination of factored loads to cause this
condition, including self weight as appropriate.

For permissible stress designs, the working load capacities may be taken as the Gravity Load/1.6 and Wind Uplift/1.4 as
appropriate. In no case should the deection limited load exceed these values for the permissible stress design method.

Capacities labelled = Span/180 represent the actual loads which, when applied to the purlin or rail, will produce a deection
of span/180. These values must be equal to, or greater than the worst combination of unfactored loads considered for this
serviceability limit state. Other deection limits may be obtained pro-rata, i.e. the Span/250 deection limited capacity of a section is

All capacities in the following tables assume that the section is weightless. The applied loads should include the self weight of the
section as indicated at the head of the table, factored as appropriate to the load combination considered.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
S390 Material
The majority of the sections illustrated in this manual are
manufactured from S390 material.

Eaves Beam Brackets

Manufactured from Grade S275 material, and galvanised to
BS EN ISO 1461.

BS EN 10346 is the standard code of practice for the

specication of hot dipped zinc coated steel strip for cold
formed sections.

Nothing in this manual represents a performance warranty

with regard to durability. The Building Designer is responsible
for assessing the suitability of the products for their intended
application, taking into account local environmental conditions.

Whilst this code does not explicitly carry a standard

specication for S390 material, an appropriate technical
description can be calculated that complies with the principles
given in Table 1 of this code.
These structural parameters can be dened as follows:
Yield strength: ReH = 390 N/mm2 guaranteed minimum value
Tensile strength: Rm = 468 N/mm2 minimum value
(i.e. 1.2 x Yield strength in accordance with the design code
BS5950:Part5:1998)

Since our policy is one of continuing product development,

Ayrshire Metal Products (Daventry) Ltd reserve the right to
revise the information shown without notication.
Quality Assurance
BS EN ISO 9001:2008
BSI registered Firm
Certicate No. FM 34021.

Elongation: A80 = 14%

All other technical delivery conditions for the coating, surface
nish, quality and treatment as dened in BS EN 10346 are
satised. Hence, the material reference is S390GD+Z275 zinc
coated steel, with a minimum guaranteed yield strength
of 390 N/mm2 .
The calculation of structural properties for the sections in this
manual are in accordance with BS5950:Part5:1998 using the
yield and tensile strengths as dened above. Test data has
also been analysed to conrm full compliance with the
principles adopted.
Cleats
Cleats manufactured from Grade DD11 steel to
BS EN 1011:2008, Section 1.2. Baseplate for bolt-on cleats
Grade S275 material to BS EN 10025.
