STEP 5.

DESIGN OF INTERMEDIATE PURLINS and SAG RODS

1. Specifications
a.) Length of purlins
L = 6.00 m
b.) Slope of roof
= tan-1(2.00/7.50) = 14.93
c.) Inclined length of roof
Inclined length = (7.52+22)1/2 = 7.762 m
d.) Purlin spacing
Assuming 11 purlins will be used
S = 7.762/11 = 0.70 m
e.) No. of lines of sag rod = 3 lines
f.) Roof Slope = (2/7.5)*100 = 15%
f.) Tributary area of purlin = 0.70(6.00) = 4.20 m2

2. Load computations
a.) Dead Loads
Weight of G.I. Sheet = 108(0.70) = 75.6 N/m
Purlin self-weight + accessories = 100 N/m
Total dead load = 75.6 + 100 = 175.6 N/m
b.) Live Loads
From Table 205 3 of NSCP 2010, Total LL = 1000 Pa
Total live load = 1000(0.70) = 700 N/m
c.) Wind Loads
Wn

Maximum Pressure = -1807 Pa

Total wind load = -1807(0.70) = -1264.9 N/m

Wt
LOAD SUMMARY
Dead load
Wdn = 175.6cos(14.93) = 169.67 N/m
Wdt = 175.6sin(14.93) = 45.25 N/m
Live load
Wln = 700cos(14.93) = 676.36 N/m
Wlt = 700sin(14.93) = 180.36 N/m
Wind load
Wwn = -1264.9 N/m
Wwt = 0

FACTORED DESIGN LOADS

Load Case 1: DL + LL
Wn = 169.67 + 676.36 = 846.04 N/m
Wt = 45.25 + 180/36 = 225.61 N/m
Load Case 2: 0.75(DL + WL)
Wn = 0.75(169.67 1264.9) = -821.42 N/m
Wt = 0.75(45.25 + 0) = 33.93 N/m
Among the two combinations Load Case 2 governs
Therefore use, Wn = 846.04 N/m and Wt = 225.61 N/m
3. Select trial section
a.) Moment at midspan
Mx = WnL2/8 = 846.04(6.00)2/8 = 3807.159 N-m
My = WtL2/90 = 225.61(6.00)2/90 = 90.244 N-m
b.) Allowable bending stress
Fbx = 0.6Fy = 0.6(250) = 150 MPa
Fby = 0.75Fy = 0.75(250) = 187.5 MPa
c.) Required section modules
Sx = Mx/Fbx = 3807.159/150 = 25.38x103 mm3
Try C 130x10
Ix = 3.09x106 mm4
Sx = 48.6x103 mm3
Sy = 6.14x103 mm3
d.) Actual bending stress
fbx = Mx/Sx = 3807.159/48.6 = 78.35 MPa
fby = My/Sy = 90.244/6.14 = 14.70 MPa
e.) Check for biaxial bending criteria
(fbx/Fbx) + (fby/Fby) < 1.0
(78.34/150) + (14.70/187.5) = 0.601< 1.0
OK!
f.) Check for deflection
Wmax = 846.04 N/m
E = 200 GPa
Allowable deflection all = 6000/180 = 33.33 mm
Actual deflection actual = 5WL4/384EI = 5(846.06)(6)4109/384(200)(3.09)109
actual = 23.10 mm < 33.33 mm OK!
g.) Actual weight of purlin
9.9 x 9.81 = 97.12 < 100 N/m , OK!
Therefore USE C 130 x 10 intermediate purlins spaced at 0.70 m O.C. with 2 lines of sag rods

DESIGN OF SAG RODS

MAXIMUM UNIFORM LOAD IS DUE TO LOAD CASE 1
CHECK FOR LOAD CASE 1
Wt = 225.61 N/m

1.) Total uniform load acting on purlin

45.25 + 180.36 = 225.61 N/m
2.) Max. Tension in Sag Rod to support one purlin
2.0m
R1 = 4w/5 = 4(225.61)/5 = 180.488
R2 = 11w/5 = 11(225.61)/5 = 496.342 N
3.) Axial load on critical sag rod,
Critical sag rod is carrying, n = 11 spans
R1 = 180.488(11) = 1985.368
R2 = 496.342(11) = 5459.762 N
4.) Allowable Axial Stress,
Ft = 250(0.60) = 150 MPa
5.) Required Diameter of Sag Rod,
A = P/Ft = 5459.762 / 150 = 36.398 m
dr/4 = R2 / Ft
dr/4 = 36.398 mm
dr = 6.807 mm, say 10 mm
Therefore use 10 mm dia. Sag rods.
