Roof purlin needs no introduction to anyone in the construction industry. They are members used to directly support roof
sheeting materials, and could be made of timber or steel. In timber construction, purlins are nailed to the rafter or

supporting trusses, while in steel roof construction, they are welded or bolted to the rafters or trusses by the means of
cleats.
STRUCTVILLE RESEARCH
In their design life, purlins are subjected to dead load (e.g self weight of sheeting materials and accessories), live load (e.g.
during maintenance services and repairs), and environmental loads (e.g. wind and snow load). Therefore, a purlin should
be adequately strong to withstand the loads it will encounter during its design life, and should not sag in an obvious
manner thereby giving the roof sheeting an undulating and/or unpleasant appearance. This post will be focusing on design
of steel purlin using cold formed sections.
Arrangement of Purlins
By default, purlin sections assume the slope of the roof they are supporting. The spacing of purlins usually call for careful
https://www.structville.com/2017/10/how-to-design-roof-purlins-solved.html 1/16
arrangement, in the sense that it should follow the nodal pattern of the supporting trusses. What I mean in this regard is
that purlins should be placed at the nodes of trusses and not on the members themselves so as not to induce secondary
bending and shear forces in the members of the truss. Furthermore, if manual analysis is employed to analyse a truss
loaded in such manner, such secondary stresses cannot be captured since we normally assume pinned connections.
Cold formed Z (Zed) and C (channel) sections are normally speci ed for purlins in steel structures (see their form in image
below).

As compared with thicker hot rolled shapes, they normally offer the advantages of lightness, high strength and stiffness,
easy fabrication and installations, easy packaging and transportation etc. The connection of purlins can be sleeved or

In terms of arrangement, we can have single spans with staggered sleeved/butt arrangement, single/double span with
staggered sleeve arrangement, double span butt joint system, and single span butt joint system. The choice of the
arrangement to be adopted can depend on the supply length of the sections as readily available in the market, the need to Click on this image to grab your copy of th

The effective width is;

beff = ρbb1 = 0.966 × 48.5 = 46.851mm
be1 = be2 = 0.5beff = 0.5 × 46.851 = 23.4255mm
Effective Width of the edge fold (lip) Clause 3.7.3.2.2 Equation 3.47
The buckling factor is;
cp ⁄ bp1 = 14.25/48.5 = 0.2938 < 0.35
So kσ = 0.5
Therefore since 1.149 < 1.0, take reduction factor as 1.0
The effective width is therefore ceff = ρcp = 1.0 × 14.25 = 14.25mm
The effective area of the edge stiffener;
As = t(be2 + ceff) = 1.45 (23.4255 + 14.25) = 54.629 mm2
We now have to use the initial effective cross-section of the stiffener to determine the reduction factor, allowing for the
effects of the continuous spring restraint.
The elastic critical buckling stress for the edge stiffener is;
Where K is the spring stiffness per unit length;
b1 is the distance of the web to the centre of the effective area of the stiffener in compression ange (upper ange);
kf = 0 for bending about the y-y axis
Therefore;
= 175882.211 × 0.00000491305 = 0.8641 N/mm
So the elastic critical buckling stress for the edge stiffener is;
σcr,s = (2√(0.8641 × 210000 × 1007.801))/(54.629 ) = 495.901 N/mm2
The relative slenderness factor for the edge stiffener;
In our own case;

χd = 1.47 – 0.723(0.840)= 0.862
As the reduction factor for buckling is less than 1.0, we can optionally iterate to re ne the value of the reduction factor for
buckling of the stiffeners according to clause 5.5.3.2(3). But we are not iterating in this post.
Therefore;
χd = 0.862
be2 = 23.4255 mm
ceff = 14.25mm
The buckling factor kσ = 7.81 – 6.29ψ + 9.78ψ2
kσ = 7.81 – 6.29(-0.9346) + 9.78(-0.9346)2 = 22.231
Therefore, take ρ as 1.0 since 1.137 > 1.0.
Therefore, the effective width of the zone in compression of the web is;
heff = ρhc = 1.0 × 61.252 = 61.252mm
Near the ange in compression;

he1 = 0.4heff = 0.4(61.252) = 24.5mm
he2 = 0.6heff = 0.6(61.252) = 36.7512mm
The effective width of the web is;

Near the ange in compression;
h1 = he2 = 24.5mm
Near the ange in tension;

h2 = hp – (hc – he2) = 118.5 – (61.252 – 36.7512) = 93.992mm
Effective section properties;
Aeff = 1.45 × [14.25 + 48.5 + 24.5 + 93.992 + 23.4255 + (23.4255 + 14.25) 0.862]
Aeff = 343.858 mm2
Position of the neutral axis with regard to the ange in compression;
zc = 1.45[(14.25 × 111.375) + (48.5 × 118.5) + (93.992 × 71.504) + 300.125 + 87.5199] / 343.858 = 60.903 mm
Position of the neutral axis with regard to the ange in tension;

Zt = hp – Zc
Second moment of area:
Effective section modulus;

With regard to the ange in compression;
Weff,y,c = Ieff,y/zc = (777557.517) / 60.903 = 12767 mm3
With regard to the ange in tension;
Weff,y,t = Ieff,y/zt = (777557.517) / 57.697 = 13476 mm3
LOAD ANALYSIS
Permanent loads
Employing long span aluminium roo ng sheet (gauge thickness = 0.55mm)
Load due to sheeting = 0.019 kN/m2
Other permanent accessories and ttings = 0.15 kN/m2
Total = 0.169 KN/m2
At a spacing of 1.2m, = 0.169 KN/m2 × 1.2m = 0.2028 KN/m

Self weight of purlin = 2.8 kg/m = 0.0275 KN/m
Total Gk = 0.2028 KN/m + 0.0275 KN/m = 0.230 KN/m
Live load
For a roof with 20° slope and no access except for normal repairs and maintenance, let us adopt a live load of 0.75 KN/m2
At a spacing of 1.2m, Qk = 0.75 KN/m2 × 1.2m = 0.9 KN/m
Wind Load
Taking a dynamic wind pressure of 1.5 KN/m2

When the wind is blowing from right to left, the resultant pressure coe cient on a windward slope with positive internal
pressure is;
cpe = −0.90 upwards
Therefore the external wind pressure normal to the roof is;
pe = qpcpe = 1.5 × − 0.90 = −1.35 kN/m2
The vertical component of the wind pressure is;
pev = pecosθ = −1.35 × cos 20° = −1.268 kN/m2 acting upwards.
At a spacing of 1.2m;
Wk = −1.268 kN/m2 × 1.2m = 1.522 KN/m
STATIC SYSTEMS
We are adopting two possible systems that will offer us continuous and single span systems. The 6m span is based on
supply length.
Static Model 1
Static Model 2
Load Case 1
When Dead load and live load are acting alone;
q = 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk = 1.35(0.230) + 1.5(0.9) = 1.6605 KN/m
Model 1

Model 2
Load Case 2
When Dead load, live load and wind load are acting alone;
q = 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk + 0.9Wk
Where the live load is the leading variable action
q = 1.35(0.230) + 1.5(0.9) – 0.9 (1.522) = 0.2907 KN/m
Model 1
Model 2
Load Case 3
When Dead load and wind load are acting alone;
q = 1.0Gk - 1.5Wk
Where dead load is favourable
q = 1.0(0.230) - 1.5(1.522) = -2.053 KN/m
Model 1
Model 2
Maximum span design moment MEd = 2.31 KNm
Maximum shear force VEd = 3.85 KN
Veri cation of Bending

Design moment resistance
MC,Rd = Weff,y.Fy / γm0 [Clause 6.1.4.1(1) of EN 1993-1-3:2006]
From our calculations;
Weff,y = min(Weff,y,c , Weff,y,t) = 12767 mm3
Therefore;
MC,Rd = Weff,y.Fy/γm0 = [(12767 mm3) × (350) × 10-6] / 1.0 = 4.46845 KNm
Check of span and single support;

MEd/MC,Rd = 2.31/4.46845 = 0.5169 < 1.0 OK!
Check of shear resistance at ULS

The design shear resistance is given by;
Vb,Rd = (hw/sinφ.t.fbv) / γM0 (Clause 6.1.5)
The shear buckling strength (fbv) which is based on the relative web slenderness can be obtained from the table below
(Table 6.1 of EN 1993-1-3).
Where λw ̅ is the relative slenderness for webs without longitudinal stiffeners.
Since 1.154 < 0.83 but less than 1.40;
fbv = 0.48fyb = 0.48 × 350 = 168 N/mm2
Vb,Rd = [(118.5 / sin90°) × 1.45 × 168] / 1.0 = 28866.6 N = 28.867 KN
Check for shear (using maximum shear force);

VEd / Vb,Rd = (3.85)/(28.867) = 0.1333 < 1.0 Shear is ok
De ection Check
Maximum de ection under SLS (1.0gk + 1.0qk) = 0.07mm
Limiting de ection = L/200 = 3000/200 = 15 mm
Since 0.07 < 15mm, de ection is OK!
Therefore, the channel Z120-15 section is adequate for the applied load.

The effective width is;

cp ⁄ bp1 = 14.25/48.5 = 0.2938 < 0.35

Therefore since 1.149 < 1.0, take reduction factor as 1.0

The effective width is therefore ceff = ρcp = 1.0 × 14.25 = 14.25mm

The effective area of the edge stiffener;

As = t(be2 + ceff) = 1.45 (23.4255 + 14.25) = 54.629 mm2

kσ = 7.81 – 6.29(-0.9346) + 9.78(-0.9346)2 = 22.231
