3.DESIGN OF STEEL PURLINS

The document outlines the design calculations for steel purlins in a truss system, including parameters such as load, span, and material properties. Key calculations include wind load, vertical load, and the use of C-Purlins with specific dimensions and spacing. The design is deemed safe based on the interaction diagram and stress checks against material yield strengths.

DESIGN OF STEEL PURLINS

DATA:

bay of Truss = 3 m. on center


(provide sagrods at midspan)
Fy = 276 Mpa
fy = 230 Mpa
distance of purlins = 0.60 m. on center
height of kingpost = 0.80 m.
span of rafter = 8.02 m
wt. of roofing = 80 Pa
wind pressure = 1440 Pa of vertical surface
Assume weight of purlins = 10.8 kg/m
= 105.95 N/m

DESIGN CALCULATION

pitch = 0.099751
angle of inclination = 11.3 º
2
wt. of purlins = 176.58 N/m
Wind Load:
Pn= 2Psin θ = 542.6873 Kpa
1+sin 2 θ
Total vertical Load = 1697 Pa
Vertical Load(P) = 1018 N/m
Wind Load = 326 N/m
Wn = 1324 N/m
Wt = 199.16 N/m
Mn = 1489 N-m
Mt = 56.0 N-m

Try C-Purlins 2" x 3" @ 0.60m.o.c.

Sx= 13109 mm3


3
Sy= 7689 mm

f = Mn + Mt
Sx 1/2 Sy

Mn/Sx= 113.61
Mt/0.5Sy= 14.57

f= 128.18 Mpa OK
Fb=0.60fy
Fb= 138 Mpa

Using Interaction Diagram:

fbx + fby = 1.0 ; 0.624 + 0.070 = 0.694


0.66Fy 0.75Fy
SAFE
fbx=Mx/Sx ; fby=My/0.5Sy

fbx= 113.6
fby= 14.57
