Zed Purlin Systems
Four structural systems are available, the Sleeved System, Double-Span Sleeved System, Heavy End-Bay
System and the Butted System. These systems allow for a flexible and efficient range of solutions to roofing
supports for a wide variety of cladding types, the major features of which are outlined below.
SLEEVED SINGLE-SPAN SYSTEM

This is the traditional system of single bay-length sections with
sleeves at all penultimate supports and at alternative internal
supports. The system may be used with all types of claddings
and roof pitches, within the limitations given in this manual.
Minimum number of spans is 2 and the maximum span is
12.5m.
DETAILS ON PAGE 45
LOAD TABLES ON PAGE 33
SLEEVED DOUBLE-SPAN SYSTEM

Sleeves are provided at all penultimate supports and are
staggered at internal bays. The advantage is a reduced number
of erection components when compared with the Sleeved
System. Note that maximum section length is restricted to 15m
for transport and handling reasons. Consideration should be
given to handling and erection sequence when utilising the
double-span sections. Minimum number of spans is 4 and
the maximum span is 7.5m.
DETAILS ON PAGE 45
HEAVY END-BAY SINGLE-SPAN SYSTEM

This is a highly efficient sleeved-system, with sleeves at all
supports thus allowing a form of continuous beam design.
Inner bay sections and sleeves are thinner than at the end bay
thus allowing an economic solution for long buildings. Sleeves
at penultimate supports are of the same thickness as the outer
bay purlin section. Minimum number of spans is 4 and
maximum span is 12.5m.

SLEEVED PURLIN SYSTEM

SINGLE/DOUBLE SPAN LENGTHS
Refer to page 3 for overview of system and sleeve requirements.
This system may be used with restraining or non-restraining
cladding, and may also be used to support tiled roof systems.
The system may require to be used in conjunction with sagsystems as identified for various conditions on page 8.
Consideration should be given to handling and erection
sequence when utilising the double-span section.
SLEEVED CONNECTION
DOUBLE SPAN CONNECTION
BUTTED SINGLE-SPAN SYSTEM

The system is required for buildings of a single span length and
is efficient for short spans or light loadings. Butted purlins are
also useful for frames which have large clear spans and where
large frame deflections may be harmful to continuous purlin
systems. Butted purlins can be used over supports or within the
depth of the supporting section. Maximum span is 11.4m.
DETAILS ON PAGE 45
BUTTED PURLIN SYSTEM

This system is useful for single-span conditions, either oversupports or flush with supports. The system is also economical
for small bays or light loadings, where sleeves are not necessary.

Zed Purlin Systems
ROOF SAG-SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The anti-sag-system required for any given case will depend on
the loadings, span, cladding type and roof pitch. Different
claddings provide varying restraint to the purlin and it is
extremely important that the roof designer should be clear on
the type of roof cladding prior to selecting a suitable sag
system. For purlin design purposes within the scope of this
manual the following list outlines the main cladding types to be
considered:
1) Restraining type metal cladding.

2) Non-restraining type metal cladding.
See the Tiled Roof section for additional sag system

requirements for tiled roofs.
Sag system recommendations for various roof conditions are
provided in the table right and these should be used as
appropriate. Use of the sag systems indicated will provide
optimum wind uplift capacity and will provide a good basis for
stability and alignment during erection.
In the case of restraining type metal cladding a reduced number
of rows of sag bars may be appropriate in particular
circumstances. It should be clear that these reduced systems
should only be used in conjunction with the appropriate load
tables which, depending on span, may have significantly
reduced wind uplift values. The following points should be
considered for reduced numbers of sag bars:
3) Hook bolt fixed cladding.

1. Reduced number of sag member rows applies only to
restrained type metal cladding.
4) Tiled roofs.
Lateral restraint is usually provided to the purlin where normal
trapezoidal, or composite cladding is through-fixed to the
purlins and where the sheets are fixed together by side lap
stitching. Standing seam roofs and some forms of secret fix
panels have fixings which allow relative movement between the
purlin and the cladding and these panels should be regarded as
non-restraining unless used in conjunction with a suitable liner
panel. A suitable liner panel should be sufficiently robust to
carry compressive restraint forces and should be positively fixed
to the purlin and it is also recommended that side lap stitching
is adopted to form a roof plane diaphragm.
Some claddings, such as fibre cement panels, are fixed by hook
bolts. These claddings offer a reduced degree of restraint to the
purlin under wind uplift conditions and the limitations given in
this section should be observed for this application. Wind uplift
capacities are reduced, and sections for these roofs should be
selected using the design disk.
2. For roof slopes less than 3 degrees, 0 rows may be used for
spans up to 4.6m and 1 row of angle braces may be used for
spans up to 12.5m
3. For roof slopes between 3 -25 degrees, 0-rows may be used
for spans up to 7.6m and 1-row of push fit sag bars may be
used for spans up to 12.5m.
4. Use the reduced wind uplift capacity relevant to the number
of rows of sag members selected.
5. Temporary stability during erection, and other Health & Safety
issues should be considered when choosing a suitable sag
system.
6. When 0 rows of sag members are used it is recommended
that one row of eaves braces and ridge struts be used.

ROOF SAG BAR SYSTEM

Useful for restraining metal cladding and hook bolt cladding
within the limit of the table. Suitable for purlins up to 240mm
deep.
Push-fit sag bars are used up to 2.0m purlin centres.
Refer to Steadmans if centres are greater than 2m.
(Refer to table on page 8 for limitations of use.)
Wide flange up-slope
Push-fit Sag Bar
Use Cranked Apex Strut if

slope length exceeds 18m
ROOF ANGLE BRACE SYSTEM

Useful for non-restraining cladding, tiled roofs and for purlins
300mm deep and steep roofs (ie. over 25)
45x45x2 angle braces may be used up to 2.0m purlin
centres. Refer to Steadmans if centres are greater
than 2m. (Refer to table on page 8 for limitations of use.)
Wide flange up-slope
Cranked Apex Strut
GENERAL NOTES
Note that where sag bar numbers are reduced, within
the limits of this manual, it may be necessary to use
temporary bracing to the top flange to avoid twisting of zed
purlins during installation, particularly on roofs with shallow or
steep slopes. In the case of 0-rows of sag bars it is
recommended that eaves braces are fitted (see Eaves Beam
section of manual) and that a ridge bar or cranked apex strut is
fitted, as in above details.
Where sag bars or angle braces are used they should be

positioned at mid-span for a single row and at 3/8,1/4,3/8
span for a double row, for optimum resistance to wind
uplift.
Refer to the Eaves Beam section of the manual for
general recommendations for sag systems at eaves.
Refer to the Tiled Roof section for advice on dealing with
such heavy roofing systems.

Zed Purlin Systems
MONOPITCH ROOFS
In a monopitch roof all the roof plane forces act up or down
the roof unlike a ridged roof which has balancing roof load
components acting through the ridge cladding and sag system.
In the case of monopitches all roof-plane loads have to be
resisted by the purlins, claddings, cleats and sag systems.
However, with zed purlins the restraint forces which develop
due to gravity loadings act in an up-slope direction, i.e. in

system need only resist the net effect of these loads. (Note that

In effect, with roof pitches less than a critical value there is a

net force acting up the slope and for greater roof slopes the
force will act downslope.
PLAN ON ROOF WITH

PITCH GREATER THAN 6
The critical angle of roof pitch depends on a number of factors

and can only be approximated with current knowledge. As an
aid to designers it is recommended that diagonal ties and struts
should be used to assist with load distribution in these roofs.
The adjacent diagrams indicate the recommended placement of
such elements for roof pitches less or greater than 6 degrees, at
which pitch roof forces are assumed to be approximately in
balance.

SHALLOW PITCH ROOFS

For very flat roofs, say below 3 degrees, particularly if the span
exceeds 6m or if non restraining cladding is used then, in
addition to the sag systems indicated in this manual the use of
purlin reversals is highly recommended to balance the extensive
up-slope restraint forces which develop due to the zed shape.
This is particularly important in the case of any long slopes or
monopitches and there should be slightly more zeds pointing
up the slope than down slope.

LONG ROOF SLOPES

For roof slopes in excess of 20m in length (on the slope), and
with a pitch of greater than 3 degrees it is recommended that
each sub-length is divided into 20m (maximum) length sections
and that each section is stiffened in the roof plane by the
addition of angle struts and diagonal ties, as indicated. For long
roofs with a pitch below 3 degrees a similar system should be
adopted but the diagonal ties should be acting in the opposite
direction.

Curved roofs become flat near the apex and it is recommended

a shallow pitch roof.)

Cold rolled purlins are increasingly being used to support tiled

roofs. This application is particularly suitable for Zeds which
have principal axes inclined from the web axes and which
consequently have upslope restraint forces acting in opposition
to the downslope load component thus minimising the large
downslope forces inherent to this form of roofing.

Note that the diagonal braces should be

Two types of application are common for use with natural slate
or concrete tile materials:
1. Tiles may be fitted to timber battens nailed to counter
battens which are screw fixed to the top flange of the
purlins.
2. Tiles may be fitted to timber battens fixed to a proprietary
metal liner tray.
Some special considerations are required when designing a tiled
roof:
1. Purlins should be limited to a deflection of span/300 in the
web plane to avoid visible sag.
2. Where a building is ridged, when timber counter battens are
used they should be bolted together at the ridge to balance
the down-slope forces so far as is possible.

3. Any timber counter battens fixed up the slope of the roof

should be attached to each other with metal straps to assist
in carrying the tensile forces which will develop in the roof.
4. The Sag-System must be sufficiently robust to handle the
down-slope load component, and the purlins require to be
designed for two-way bending, as in the steep roof section
above. Use angle braces at sag member positions, in
conjunction with diagonal ties. If loadings are substantial the
diagonal ties should be fixed directly to the steel supporting
rafter.
5. Cleats should be checked for their ability to handle the large
down-slope forces, use heavy duty cleats if necessary.

Some typical details are provided, for the purpose of general
guidance in the design of these roofs.
Note that in addition to the use of natural materials Steadmans
offer the unique AS2000 roof system which combines the
natural look of slate with the lightweight construction of
pressed steel construction. (Separate information leaflets are

CANTILEVER PURLINS
These are frequently required to form gable overhangs, with or
without deep soffit framing. Performance depends on the purlin
section and on the backing span. The purlin section should be
no less than that required for the adjacent main span, selected
in the absence of the cantilever loading. Where deflections are
critical the purlin section should be chosen accordingly,
following the guidance below.
Purlin sections should be confirmed by evaluation, considering
the following parameters:
1. Purlin section must be continuous over the gable frame.
5. The factored BM at the support should not exceed the purlin

moment capacity for gravity or wind uplift effects (Mc in the
section property table).
6. Tip deflection should be limited by increasing the purlin
section, if required.
7. Where the cantilever span exceeds 1.0m a diagonal tie
should be fitted as in the sketch. This is particularly important
in the case of steep roofs, monopitches and heavy claddings.
8. Special care is required with heavy roof claddings or tiled roof
systems. Refer to Steadmans for advice in particular cases.
2. Maximum cantilever span is 30% of the backing span, but

not greater than 3m.
3. Bottom flange should be restrained by cladding or by
restraints at centres not exceeding the lesser of 2m and
ten times the section depth.
4. Purlin ends should be braced with
cleader angles top & bottom or with
an angle brace providing torsional
restraint, placed near the end.
Restraint should be carried across
the ridge where applicable.

Eaves Beams
SECTIONS
Three depths of eaves beam are available. Folded indented sections with a maximum length of 10m are
available in 200mm and 240mm depth. A 300mm deep Cee section eaves beam is available up to a span
of 12.5m to complement the 300 series of purlin sections. These are available in the thicknesses indicated.
Eaves beams are usually single spanning but the 200 and 240 series may be supplied as double-spanning
up to a 5m span and the 300 series can be double-spanning up to a 7.5m span.
The 300mm deep eaves beams may be optionally used with counterformed holes and countersunk bolts,
with either countersunk holes or spacer plates as indicated.
It is recommended that at least one row of eaves braces should be adopted, even where a zero row of sag
bars is used with the purlins. Additionally the number of rows of eaves braces should not be less than the
number of rows of sag bars for purlins, as in the table on page 8, or as selected by the designer to suit
any particular design. Removal of eaves braces should only be carried out if the roof designer is confident
that the structural implications have been fully considered.
The eaves beam design tables and design disk are based on the
assumption that the top flange is fully restrained by the roof
cladding and care is required where this is not the case, for
example where standing seam or clip-fixed cladding are used
without a suitably stiff liner panel.
EAVES BRACES PERFORM THE FOLLOWING

FUNCTIONS:1. Reduce the horizontal design span for side wind.
2. Assist with dispersing horizontal wind loads into the roof
diaphragm.
3. Reduce any twisting due to eaves gutters and with erection
of roof cladding.

Zed & Cee Sheeting Rails
Sheeting rails may be selected as either Zed profile or Cee profile sections. These are
formed from the same coils and are each available in the same depth and thickness range. Cees may be
substituted for Zeds at window and door framing and at composite cladding joints, etc.
The two types of section can be mixed on the same rail line though it is not possible to locate sleeves on the
junction between Zeds and Cees. Each system should be regarded
separately between such junctions when considering load capacities.
Three basic systems are given in this manual, i.e. the Sleeved System, the Butted System
and the Double Span (Brick Restraint) System. A Heavy End-Bay System can be used though in practice this may
be hampered by interaction with door standards, etc, and the designer will require to exercise caution if this
system is used (and indeed may require to anticipate the possibilities of future alterations to the wall structure).
The design disc provides a method of load assessment for this system.
SLEEVED SYSTEM
This is a system of single bay length sections with
sleeves at penultimate supports and at alternative
internal supports. Minimum number of spans is 2 and
the maximum span is 12.5 metres.
DETAILS ON PAGE 45
BUTTED SYSTEM
This is a single span system. The system is required for
single bay length rails and is efficient for short spans or light wind
loadings. Sections can be fitted running past the supports or may be
within the depth of supporting sections. Maximum span is 11.4
metres.
DETAILS ON PAGE 45
DOUBLE SPAN SYSTEM

(BRICK RESTRAINT)
This is a relatively stiff system intended for use as
brickwork restraints, or as window framing. Minimum number of
spans is 2 and maximum transport length of section is 15 metres
thus maximum span is 7.5 metres. Use double-span sections for the
full length if the wall has an even number of bays and use a triplespan rail, ie double-span plus a sleeve, if an odd number of bays.
Section thickness may require to increase for the triple-span case to
compensate for the reduced stiffness, when compared with the
double span system.

SHEETING RAIL SAG-SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The user should note that it is assumed in the development of details and load tables that wall claddings will
provide a diaphragm action and will be positively fixed to the rails,
thereby eliminating vertical bending in the rails. Any claddings which do not meet these
criteria should be referred to Steadmans, or the program may be used with the cladding weight included.
The number of rows of sags members for normal use is provided in the table, shown below
for restraining-type metal cladding and fibre-cement cladding. The table also provides limiting dimensions for a
number of cases.
Less limiting conditions can be applied for support of restraining type metal cladding,
in certain cases. Where the cladding weight can be carried by floors, brick wall heads
or eaves beams or by diaphragm action, and where the reduced wind load capacity is acceptable then 0 rows of
sag bars may be adopted up to a 6.3m span, and a single
row may be used up to a 7.6m span. In the case of 0 rows being adopted then temporary supports may be
required to prevent sag in the rails during erection.
The usual system of rail restraints comprises the use of 45 x 45 x 2 angle section rail struts, with diagonal ties, as
indicated on the next page.

Additional Notes
1. In the case of multiple rows of rails the maximum number of rails
per set of diagonals should be limited to 8.
2. For double-row sag systems in walls the sag members are placed
at 1/3 spans for a uniform appearance. For triple row systems
place sag members at 1/4 spans.
3. For spans in excess of 10m use heavy duty angular
diagonal ties in place of tie wires.
5. Support cleats should be checked for their capacity to

handle wall cladding weight where this exceeds 13kg/m2 or
where flat plate cleats are used. Similarly if wall glazing or other
deflection sensitive claddings are used then the designer should
confirm that the cleats have adequate bending resistance and
consideration should be given to using heavy duty angular
diagonal ties in such conditions.
4. Advice should be sought from Steadmans when supporting any

special claddings, such as clip fixed, which offer less restraint and
reduced diaphragm action.

FIRE RATED
BOUNDARY WALLS
Under boundary conditions it is required to provide walls with a
fire rating. In these cases the fire rating is provided by the wall
cladding and insulation, which are taken to be
independent of the rail system in a fire situation. However, rails are
required to have slotted end-holings to reduce buckling due to the
significant thermal expansion during fire conditions. Connections
utilise combustible washers
as indicated, to facilitate these thermal movements,
whilst providing for normal rail performance during
non-fire conditions. (Some approving authorities also require that
the eaves beam be fire protected.)
BUTTED RAIL

The Steadmans fire rail system has been developed to

Steadmans produce a variety of zeds and cees which can provide a

flexible range of solutions to parapet framing.
Parapet posts may be fabricated from standard Cee
sections bolted together to form double-cees at rail
positions and at centres not exceeding 1500mm.
(Use the thickest section available for the post depth used, to assist
with absorbing bolt tension at the connection.)
Use posts of same depth as rails for flush and convenient
Posts may be bolted to columns via 8mm packer plates. Connection

should be designed to suit height of parapet but height between
pairs of bolts should not be less than 500mm and use backing plates
at the flange when bolt tension exceeds the flange capacity.
Alternatively, for higher wind loadings it may be preferred to weld
6mm fin-plates to the column flanges and to bolt the cees sections
on either side.
Particular attention should be paid to wall sag systems to remove
sag, when gutters are supported from the rails

Cee Sections are particularly suited for trimming door and window
frames.
Counterformed holes are available as an option, though the use of

timber packers at windows and door frames are recommended in
order to take up tolerances and slight misalignments and in these
cases normal or thin-head bolts may be simpler and more
economical.
If cold rolled sections are used as framing for overhead doors, then:
a) Check that eaves beam can carry any horizontal wind forces,
add eaves braces or a double-Cee head section, as required.
b) Confirm with door supplier that the thin section can carry local
forces from the springs and rollers.

SUSPENDED SERVICES
& POINT LOADS
Services are commonly suspended from the purlins, such loads
varying in nature and magnitude. This section gives guidance as to
accommodation of the point loadings involved.
CASE A - LOAD
SUSPENDED FROM PURLIN LIP
The table below gives the maximum single point load (unfactored)
value for typical light loading applications. For use of this table three
conditions must be satisfied;
(i) Load centres to be not less than 500mm,
(ii) Purlin must be selected for a total UDL not less than the
sum of the dead load + imposed load + a service load not less
than the UDL value which would give the same mid span BM as
the point loads on a simple beam of the same span,
(iii) If roof slope exceeds 12 degrees then reduce allowable load
linearly to a value of 50% the tabulated value, at a maximum
slope of 25 degrees.
CASE B - LOAD
SUSPENDED FROM
BOTTOM FLANGE OR
WEB LINE
For heavier point loadings a steel framework should be adopted as

shown below. Maximum point loads applied
to the purlin for this system should be determined in agreement
with Steadmans.

SUSPENDED CEILINGS.
Cold rolled sections are increasingly being used as
suspended ceiling supports. Support may be provided by either
zeds or cees, provided that sections are properly restrained against
twisting and buckling. Sections may
be used over or under supports depending on individual
circumstances.
Typical details are provided for illustration purposes. Steadmans
may be contacted for advice and section
design for any application or alternatively use the simplified method
provided below.

Notes:
i) Torsional and lateral restraint should be applied at
supports (cleats) and at mid-span for spans up to 6.1m and at third
spans for spans up to 10m. Such restraints should
be tied back to a suitable anchorage to prevent lateral
movement of the support grid.
ii) Select sections of a suitable stiffness to provide a
deflection not exceeding the limits provided by the ceiling supplier
(usually span/240 to span/360).
iv) Whether zeds or cees are used they should be used in opposing
pairs, as illustrated, to minimise any twisting effects.
v) Sections may be selected from the load tables in the
normal way but the tabulated gravity load capacities should be
reduced by 50% to allow for the reduced restraint.
(No reduction required for deflection controlled values.)
Alternatively, use the design program with non-restraining
cladding.
iii) Zeds may be single spanning or may be sleeved, if details suit.

Cees are generally used as single spanning sections.

Load Tables
INTRODUCTION.
This manual presents load tables for a number of practical design situations.
Tables should be read in conjunction with the systems information as given earlier in this manual.
Steadmans have used a flexible approach to the number of rows of sag members, to allow maximum freedom of
choice for the designer and Architect. Information on this topic should be obtained from the relevant section of
the manual prior to selection of purlins and rails.
Note that if zero rows of sag bars are used then temporary bracing may be required during erection to avoid
distortion of purlins and rails.
Load tables are based on calculations to BS 5950: Part 5: 1998 using a combination of rational
analysis and component testing on sleeve connections.
The tables are based on the use of restraining metal cladding. For the cases of non-restraining cladding
and hook-bolt fixed cladding the design disk should be used in conjunction with the sag systems as provided
earlier in this manual.
PURLIN LOAD TABLES

Load tables provide unfactored gravity load capacities which are based on the lesser of the purlin working load
capacity or as controlled by a deflection limit of Span/180. The tables also provide
ultimate load capacities for gravity load, wind uplift and for deflection limits of Span/180 and Span/150. Wind uplift
capacity values are given for three conditions, i.e. 0 rows, 1 row and 2 rows of purlin braces, within the limits of
the information provided in this manual. (Refer to page 8)
When evaluating factored and unfactored loadings the self weight of the purlin section need not be considered as
this effect is included in the load tables, with the exception that the deflectioncontrolled values are based on deflections only, excluding self weight effects, so that other limits may be adopted
by pro-rata.
Purlins are frequently selected on the basis of a gravity load deflection limit of Span/180 but there may be a
number of cases, including agricultural buildings, where other limits may apply. In the case of agricultural buildings
the designer may choose to select purlins on the basis of the load given for the Span/150 limit, for unfactored
loads, and on the basis of the ultimate capacity for factored
loadings. Some claddings may require more stringent deflection limits and these may be determined by pro-rata.
It is not usual to limit deflections for wind uplift cases but if required the designer can evaluate the unfactored net
wind uplift and limit to the deflection-limit capacity given in the tables. Note that purlin design may be more
readily carried out using the Steadmans design software.
Wind loadings should be evaluated to the relevant code of practice and should be increased by a suitable load
factor (usually 1.4), with the cladding dead load deducted to give the factored net
loading.
The load tables apply to roof slopes up to 25 degrees, for steeper slopes the design software should be used or
consult Steadmans direct.
SHEETING RAIL LOAD TABLES

Sheeting rail tables are based on the usual assumption that cladding dead weight does not cause
significant bending in the vertical plane. This condition is satisfied in practice if the cladding weight is supported by
the eaves beam or at the base of the panel or if the cladding is fixed in such a manner as to form an effective
diaphragm. (Refer to BS 5950: Part 5.) Should the designer consider that the wall cladding weight should be
carried by the rails (prudent for heavy claddings) then the design
program can be used with this option selected.
31

Load Tables
A specific table of values is given for brickwork restraints, with values provided for single, two-span
and three-span conditions to allow the designer a wide variety of solutions. Loads are provided based
on capacity and for the commonly used deflection limit of span/300. They are based on the
assumption that the brick ties provide full restraint to the rails and if this is not the case advice should be sought
from Steadmans. Use the lesser value of capacity and deflection limit in design.
If an alternative deflection limit is required this can be selected by pro-rata. Alternatively the design program may
be used with a suitable deflection limit selected.
EAVES BEAM LOAD TABLES
Tables are provided for eaves beams for single and double span cases within the limits of the product. The tables
are based on the assumption of restraining type roof cladding. It is assumed that horizontal wind forces are
carried by the eaves beam and braces and hence into the roof diaphragm. The designer should be satisfied that
suitable load paths exist for these forces. For cases where the wall cladding is fixed near the top flange of the
eaves beam then the designer may wish to consider that the horizontal wind is carried by the fixings directly into
the roof diaphragm, provided restraining type roof cladding is used.
NON UNIFORM SPANS
The most economical design of frames and cold-rolled sections occurs when all spans are of equal length.
However there are circumstances where it is not possible to achieve this due to practical constraints. This
section gives an indication of how to deal with non-uniform design cases, based on guidance in BS 5950: Part 5.
CASE I
Spans not varying by more than 20% of the maximum span.
a) Sleeved or Heavy End-Bay System.
In this case select sections and sleeves on the basis that all spans are assumed to equal the maximum span.
b) Butted system.
Select a section for each span individually, or for the maximum span. Note that it is usual to maintain the same
depth of section for all spans so that the same cleats are used throughout, though this is not mandatory provided
detailing is suitably adapted.
CASE 2
Spans not complying with case 1, but within specific limits.
a) Sleeved or Heavy End-Bay system.
Split the run of sections into a number of sets of spans where the variation in each set is not more than 20% of
the largest span in that set and choose section thickness on the basis of the largest span in each set, i.e. treat each
set of spans as a case 1 situation.
b) Butted System.
This may be used without limitation.
CASE 3
Spans not complying with the limits of case 1 nor case 2.
In this case, either use butted sections throughout the structure or contact Steadmans for
specific advice.

With this system, heavy gauge sections are used in the end bays and
at penultimate support sleeves. Care must be taken to properly
identify components on site to avoid misplacement. Usually endbay purlins can be detailed
to be different from inner-bay sections but as sleeves
look similar at all positions consideration may be given
to using heavy gauge sleeve sections at all supports to avoid wrong
positioning.
