Design of Purlin & Sag Rods As Per Is Code

This document provides design calculations for purlins and sag rods used in a roof structure. The purlin has a span of 9.25m and is spaced at 1.2m. Loads on the purlin including dead load, live load, and wind load are calculated. The required section modulus is determined to be 189063 mm^3. An ISMC 225 section satisfies this requirement and checks are performed to verify stress levels and deflection are within limits. Sag rods are designed to carry 2.5% of the axial load on the purlin, resulting in a required area of 90.56 mm^2, which can be satisfied with a 12mm diameter rod.

DESIGN OF PURLIN & SAG RODS

DESIGN DATA :

Purlin Span, l = 9.25 m


Purlin Spacing = 1.20 m
Inclination of roof, Ө ° = 12.00
2
Yield strength of steel = 250 N/mm
2
Dead Load on Purlin, Wd = 0.60 kN/m
2
Live Load on Purlin, WL = 0.75 kN/m
Max. Wind Load co-efficient on roof = 1.74
2
Wind Pressure on roof, WWL = 0.443 kN/m (max)

LOAD CALCULATIONS ON PURLIN :

DL + LL = 1.2 m × ( 0.6 + 0.75) kN.sqm = 1.62 kN/m


Wind load onto purlin, WL = 1.2 m × 1.74 × 0.443 kN.sqm = 0.925 kN/m

The Dead Load & Live Load acts Vertically on member.


Therefore the component of ( DL + LL ) acting parallel to roof, H = 1.62 × sin 12
= 0.337 kN/m

The component of ( DL + LL ) acting normal to roof, V = 1.62 × cos 12


= 1.585 kN/m

Total load acting normal to roof, P = WL + V


= 0.925 + 1.585
= 2.510 kN/m

DESIGN LOAD CALCULATIONS :

2
M u -u
Major Axis Moment of the member, = ( P × l ) / 10
= 2.51 × 9.25 × 9.25
10
= 21.47 kN-m

2
M v -v
Minor Axis Moment of the member, = ( H × l ) / 10
= 0.337 × 9.25 × 9.25
10
= 2.88 kN-m

Required Sectional Modulus of Member,


Z u -uM u -u 1 + M v -v Z u -u
×
σ bc M u -u Z v -v

Considering the ( Z u -u ) / ( Z v -v ) = 7.00


Increasing the σ bc by 33.50 % to account the wind effect,
2
σ bc = 1.335 × 0.66 × fy = 220.28 N/mm
Z u -u = 21.47 × 1000000 1+ 2.88 7.00
×
1.335 × 0.66 × 250 21.47

3
Z u -u = 189063 mm

Considering the Channel Section, ISMC 225 @ 25.90 kg/m

Self Weight of Member, SW = 0.2541 kN/m

Moment of Inertia :
4
I x -x = 26946000 mm
4
I z -z = 1872000 mm
Sectional Modulus :
3
Z x -x = 239500 mm
3
Z z -z = 32800 mm

Permissible Bending compression stress of member,


σ bc provided = 21.47 × 1000000 1+ 2.88 7.30
×
239500 21.47

2
σ bc provided = 177.52 N/mm
2
σ bc allowable = 1.335 × 0.66 × fy = 220
N/mm
Bending compression stress of member is lesser than allowable or permissible stress, Hence OK.

CHECK FOR DEFLECTION

Total load, W = P + SW = 2.51 + 0.2541 = 2.76 kN/m

ᵟmax = 5×W×l
4

384 × E × I x-x
= 5 × 2.76 × 9250 ^ 4
384 × 2.05 × E10 × 26946000
ᵟmax = 47.69 mm

ᵟ allowable = Span / 180 = 9250 = 51.39 mm


180
Deflection of member is within the limits, Hence OK.

DESIGN OF SAG RODS

The sag rod should be designed for the 2.5% of the axial capacity of the Purlin member or
bending compressive force of Purlin.

F = 2.5% × W × sin Ө × l
= 2.5% × 2.76 × sin 12 × 9.25
F = 13.29 kN

R = F / cos Ө Force in the Tie Rod


= 13.29 / cos 12
R = 13.58 kN
Area of the Sag rod required,
A req = R / ( 0.6 × f y )
= (13.58 × 1000 ) / ( 0.60 × 250 )
2
A req = 90.56 mm

Hence provide 1 No. of 12 φ sag rod.
