C.) Load Calculations for STAAD Input

Purlins Weight/lm = 2.17000 kg/m
Mass/lm = 0.02129 kN/m
Area Load = Wt x SpacingP
= 0.05322 kPa
Line Load = Aload x SpacingT
= 0.09792 kN/m

GI + Insulation Area Load = 0.14943 kPa

Line Load = Aload x SpacingT
= 0.27495 kN/m

Misc: MEP Area Load = 0.10000 kPa

Line Load = Aload x SpacingT
= 0.18400 kN/m

Live Load Area Load = 1.00000 kPa

Line Load = Aload x SpacingT
= 1.84000 kN/m

WL1 Line Load = 2.26320 kN/m

WL2 Line Load = -10.15680 kN/m

D.) Input STAAD Load Data

Top Chord Max Load = 171.94 kN C
L = 400 mm
r = 15.37 mm

Bottom Chord Max Load = 121.30 kN T

L = 400
r = 15.367

Angled Web Chord Max Load' = 36.31 kN T

L = 301 mm
r = 15.37 mm
 E.) Design of Members

E.1) Design of Top Chord

E.1.a.) In Compression
Test for Bucking
NSCP 505.2, AISC 360-10 E2 kL/r < 200 where k = 1
26.03 < 200 OK

where k = 200000 Mpa

2
Cc = √ [ 2π E/Fy ]
2
= √ [ 2π * 200000 / 248 ]
= √[ 15918.71678 ]
= 126.17

Since kL/r < Cc INTERMEDIATE COLUMN

Solving for FS
3
5.00 3(kL/r) (kL/r)
FS = + - 3
3.00 8Cc 8(Cc)
78.08941238 17636.51208
= 1.666666667 + -
1009.355177 16067639.19
= 1.74

2
Thus (kL/r) Fy
Fa = [1 -
2
]
2(Cc) Fs

= [1 - 677.5507028 ] 248
31837.43355 1.74
= 139.26 Mpa

Solving for Required Area

Fa = P/A
139,260.62 = 171.942 / A
A = 1,234.68 mm2 NOT OK 1

E.2) Design of Bottom Chord

E.2.b.) In Tension
Thus Ft = 0.6Fy
= 0.60 * 248
= 148.80 Mpa

Solving for Required Area

Ft = P/A
148,800.00 = 121.30 / A
A = 815.16 mm2 OK 0

E.3) Design of Web Members - Angled

E.3.a.) In Tension
Ft = 0.6Fy
= 0.60 * 248
= 148.80 Mpa

Solving for Required Area

Ft = P/A
148,800.00 = 36.31 / A
A = 244.01 mm2 OK 0

Therefore use CHANGE SECTION for Top Chord,

2L2x2x1/4 for Bottom Chord,
L2x2x1/4 for Web
