Question
![Situation 1
Light-grade channel is used as a purlin of a truss whose top chord is sloped at 15degrees from the horizontal.
Properties of channel section:
Sx = 6.19 x 10^4 mm^3
Sy = 1.38 x 10^4 mm^3
Simple Span = 6 m with one sagrod at L/2
Loads
Roof Loads (applied at centroid of purlins)
Dead Load = 0.95 kPa (including weight of purlin)
Live Load = 1.2 kPa
Allowable Stress:
Fbx = Fby =110 MPa
a. Determine the maximum spacing of purlins (m) due to dead load plus live load only. (Hint: Analyze in terms of s and DCR<= 1.0)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7dcb0abd-0ab6-46f7-b891-81568b753b21%2Fb1e9a423-37d7-46e4-b6d2-bf153f534c60%2Fh25fue8_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
