Question

Design a purlin for a roof truss having the following data:
Span of the truss = 6.0m
Spacing of truss = 3m c/c.
Inclination of roof = 30o
Spacing of Purlin = 2m c/c
Wind pressure = 1.5 kN/m2
Roof coverage= A.C Sheeting weighing 200 N/m2
Provide a channel section Purlin.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given question

Span of the truss = 6.0m

Spacing of truss = 3m c/c.

Inclination of roof = 30o

Spacing of Purlin = 2m c/c

Wind pressure = 1.5 kN/m2

Roof coverage= A.C Sheeting weighing 200 N/m2

We have to design a purlin with a channel section.
