Review Module - Structural Engineering (Purlins)

This document provides information about structural engineering review modules related to purlins. It gives two loading and moment diagrams for bending in the minor axis with sagrods at midspan and third points. It then presents a situation involving light-grade steel channel purlins on a roof with various loads and requests calculations to determine maximum stress ratios and safe purlin spacing. Contact information is also provided for two office locations.

Loading and moment diagram for bending in the minor axis with sagrods

SITUATION:
Light – grade steel channel was used as a purlin of a truss. The top chord
of the truss is inclined 1V:4H and distance between trusses is equal to
3m. The purlin has a weight of 75 N/m and spaced at 1.3m on centers.
The purlin carries the following loads:
Dead load (roof materials) – 1.3kPa
Live load – 1.0kPa
Wind load – 1.4kPa
Coefficient of pressure at leeward and windward are 0.2 and 0.5
respectively. Sag rods are placed at the middle thirds.
Fbx = Fby = 140 MPa.
Sx = 4.30 x 104 mm3
Sy = 1.20 x 104 mm3
Using the interaction formula, determine the following:

1. Maximum ratio of actual to allowable bending stress for combination


of (D + L) load.
2. Maximum ratio of actual to allowable bending stress for combination
of 0.75(D+L+W).
BIAXIAL BENDING 3. Maximum ratio of actual to allowable bending stress for combination
For biaxial bending condition, the interaction value shall be taken from the
of (D + L) if one line of sag rod was placed at the mid-span.

Assume that all loads pass through the centroid of the C section.
For D + L + W, a one third increase in allowable stresses is allowed.

1. What is the safe purlin spacing (m) due to D + L?


2. How much is the safe spacing of purlins (m) due to loads D + L + W at
the windward side?
3. What is the maximum spacing of purlins (m) due to loads, D, L and W
at the leeward side?
