2.3.6 INTRODUCTION TO DHS PURLIN SYSTEMS CAPACITY TABLES


The capacity tables given in Sections 2.3.7 and 2.3.8 relate to the following span configurations:
Single span pinned at both ends.
End span pinned at one end and fixed at the other.
Internal span fixed at both ends.
Note: End and internal spans can be continuous or lapped.
No bolt slip or member rotation has been allowed for at fixed ends.
Use of end span tables with corresponding internal span tables assumes that the end span is
within plus 5% or minus 10% of the internal spans, provided that for a 3 span configuration
both end spans are reduced by the same amount. Otherwise specific design to AS/NZS 4600
is required.
As a guide, single spans are used most frequently, particularly where purlins are set down between
the rafters. Deflections may govern on larger spans.
End and continuous configurations may be used where lower deflections are required.
Lapped end and lapped internal configurations are more economical on large purlin spans where
better strength and lower deflections are required.

span, measured from bolt centre
to bolt centre each end of the
lap, positioned equally over the
portal rafter. Refer detail H in

2.3.3 COMBINED BENDING AND COMPRESSION DESIGN


When purlins are designed to act under combined bending and axial loads, for example purlins
transmitting end wall loads to braced bays, interaction of combined bending and axial loads may be
shown in the following equations:
1. If N */c Nc 0.15, the following interaction equation may be used:
N*
Wx*
+
bWb x
c Nc

1.0

This is usually the case when purlins are used primarily as bending members near capacity and
are also required to take a nominal level of axial compression.
If N */c Nc > 0.15 then the following equations must be used:
N*
CmxWx*
2. +
1.0
bWb x  nx
c Nc
N*
3. +
c Ns

Wx*

bWb x

1.0

where
N*

= Design axial compressive load (kN).

c Nc

= Axial compression member capacity (kN) in the absence of other actions.

c Ns

= Axial compression section capacity (kN). Refer Section 2.3.2 Design Considerations.

Wx*

= Design bending load (kN/m) about the x axis.

bWb x = Uniformly loaded bending capacity (kN/m) about the x axis.


Cmx

= Restraint coefficient about the x, y axes respectively.


It is reasonable to assume Cmx is 1.0 for unrestrained supports (i.e. simply
supported) and 0.85 for restrained supports (end or internal spans).

 nx

= 1 [N */c Nex].

c Nex

= Euler buckling capacity (kN) about the major axis of symmetry (X-X).

Flexure about the minor axis of symmetry (Y-Y) is assumed to be zero. If biaxial flexure is expected,
specific design is required.
Solution of the interaction equation involves solving for the design axial compressive load (N *),
yielding the remaining axial capacity or directly substituting the known variables.These methods are
illustrated in the sample calculations in Section 2.3.11.3.
Where DHS purlins are designed to take solely axial load, the design of the bolted connections must
be considered. For example a DHS purlin designed as a load-bearing post, held top and bottom with
bolts, will likely be limited by the capacity of bolts used.

Notes:
1. All capacities are in accordance with AS/NZS 4600:1996.
2. Bolts are assumed to comply to AS1111 or AS1252.
3. All connections are assumed to have one washer under each of the bolt head and the nut (or the
portal cleat acting as one of the washers).
4. Calculation of tearing capacity assumes a 38 mm edge distance.
5. The maximum structural ductility factor used for seismic loads must be less than 1.25.

2.3.11 DESIGN EXAMPLES


2.3.11.1 EXAMPLE: PURLINS, SINGLE AND LAPPED
Loadings
Dead Load, G = 0.12 kPa
Live Load, Q = 0.25 kPa
Snow Load, Su = 0.50 kPa
Outward Limit State Wind Loads, Wu = 0.95 kPa and Ws = 0.66 kPa
Inward Wind Loading is not significant for this roof.
Building Constraints
Portal Spacing, LP = 7.5 m
Roof Pitch

= 10 degrees

Rafter Length, LR = 16.0 m (distance from eaves purlin to


ridge purlin)
Roofing Profile
= BB900 x 0.55 mm BMT

Critical Design Load Combinations for the Ultimate Limit State (from AS/NZS 1170)
i) W*ULS = 1.2G + 1.5Q
= (1.2 x 0.12) + (1.5 x 0.25)
= 0.52 kPa
ii) W*ULS = 1.2G + Su +  cQ
= 1.2 x 0.12 + 0.50 + (0.0 x 0.25)
= 0.64 kPa
iii) W*ULS = 0.9G + Wu
= (0.9 x 0.12) + ( 0.95)
= 0.84 kPa
Critical Design Load Combinations for the Serviceability Limit State
i) W*SLS = LP /300 under G &  Q = (0.12 + 0.0 x 0.25) x 300/150
ii) W*SLS = LP /150 under Ws
= 0.66

= 0.24 kPa
= 0.66 kPa

For i) we have converted the load by a factor of 300/150 in order to compare the load directly with
Ws in the DHS load span tables as these are based on span/150.
Optimise Roofing Profile Spans
In this case we have a restricted access roof where the point load requirement limits the
intermediate span of the BB900 x 0.55 mm BMT profile to 3.0 m. End spanning capability of the
roofing is reduced to 2.1 m, i.e. 70% of the intermediate span. Generally these spans will not fit the
rafter length exactly, hence the requirement to Optimise.
The optimised roofing profile intermediate span is based on the rafter length and the number of
purlins, NP (assuming at least four) and is given by the term: LRI = LRT / [NP 1.6]
Try 6 Purlins,
Try 8 Purlins,
Try 7 Purlins,

LRI = 16.0/(6 1.6)


LRI = 16.0/(8 1.6)
LRI = 16.0/(7 1.6)

=
=
=

3.64 m
2.50 m
2.96 m

No good
Not controlling
Intermediate spans and 2.07 m edge spans

From this, 7 purlins are required and the purlin spacings may be rationalised to 2.9 m intermediate
spans and 2.0 m spans at the sheet ends.

Assuming the top flange of the DHS purlin is restrained by screw-fastened roof sheeting. (If the top
flange is not fully restrained then use the load capacity for the 1, 2 or 3 brace case as appropriate to
check both uplift and gravity combinations.)
Try DHS 250/18 Purlin
Check design capacities (using those given in the single span DHS load span tables): W*ULS bWbx
W*ULS
= 2.9 x 0.64
= 1.86 kN/m
< FR, 3.01 kN/m
O.K.
W*ULS
= 2.9 x 0.84
= 2.44 kN/m
< 2 Braces, 3.01 kN/m O.K.
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 2.9 x 0.66

1.91 kN/m

< Ws, 1.94 kN/m

O.K.

Therefore use DHS 250/18 purlins at 2.9 m intermediate spacings and 2.0 m at sheet ends, with
2 rows of fastBRACE (or standard bolted DB89/12 braces) brace channels per bay.
2. Lapped Span Purlin Design
a) End Bays
Try DHS 200/18 Purlin
Check design capacities (using those given in the lapped end span DHS load span tables):
W*ULS bWbx
W*ULS
= 2.9 x 0.64
= 1.86 kN/m
< FR, 2.76 kN/m
O.K.
W*ULS
= 2.9 x 0.84
= 2.44 kN/m
< 1 Brace, 2.76 kN/m O.K.
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 2.9 x 0.66

1.91 kN/m

< Ws, 2.68 kN/m

O.K.

b) Internal Bays
Try DHS 200/15 Purlin
Check design capacities (using those given in the lapped internal span DHS load span tables):
W*ULS bWbx
W*ULS
= 2.9 x 0.64
= 1.86 kN/m
< FR, 3.49 kN/m
O.K.
W*ULS
= 2.9 x 0.84
= 2.44 kN/m
< 1 Brace, 3.49 kN/m O.K.
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 2.9 x 0.66

1.91 kN/m

< Ws, 4.84 kN/m

O.K.

Therefore use,
End Bays: DHS 200/18 purlins at 2.9 m intermediate spacings and 2.0 m at sheet ends, with 1 row of
fastBRACE (or standard bolted DB89/12 braces) brace channels per bay.
Internal Bays: DHS 200/15 as per the end bay purlin spacings and bracing layout.
In the calculation of wall elements, optimisation follows the same logic as illustrated for roofing with
the exception that foot traffic limitations do not apply, leaving the spanning ability of the cladding
dependent on face loads caused by wind.

2.3.11.2 DEFLECTION CHARACTERISTICS


a) The Ws loading for a DHS 250/18 purlin on a 9.0 m single span is 1.13 kN/m. It is desired to limit
the DHS purlin deflection to span/200.
Therefore the serviceable load in the DHS purlin at a deflection of span/200 is expressed as:
1.13 x 150
= 0.85 kN/m
200
b) The design Linear Load for deflection of a DHS 250/18 on a 9.0 m single span has been calculated
as 0.94 kN/m.
The relative deflection is shown as,

0.94 x span
=
1.13 x 150

The actual deflection is then,

2.3.11.3 COMBINED BENDING AND COMPRESSION


There are three equations governing the design for combined bending and compression. Assuming
there is no minor axis component for flexure, where N */c Nc 0.15.
Using the purlin example, option 2 for a DHS 200/18 on a 7.5 m lapped end span with 1 brace, the
DHS purlin is required to resist a 4.0 kN axial load (resulting from wind on the end wall) in addition
to the W*ULS load combination.The remaining axial capacity is checked given the known flexural
loads:
Wx*

= 2.44 kN/m (Design uniformly distributed bending load; W*ULS)

bWb x = 2.76 kN/m (Uniformly loaded bending capacity from load span tables)
N*

= 4 kN

(Design axial compressive load as calculated)

c Nc

= 48.08 kN

2.3.11.4 EXAMPLE: BOLT SIZING


Taking the previous purlin example option 1 where we have a single span DHS 250/18 purlin spaced
at 2.9 m apart, with 2 rows of bracing.
Critical load combination (ULS) = 0.84 kPa
This converts to design shear force at the supports, V* = 0.84 x 2.9 x 7.5/2 = 9.14 kN per end
connection.
As there are 2 bolts at each end V* = 9.14/2 = 4.57 kN per bolt.
From the connection capacities given in Section 2.3.10 for 1.75 m thickness.
Try 12 mm diameter bolts

2.3.11.5 EXAMPLE: SPECIFIC BRACE DESIGN


Consider a design case with purlin span 10 m.
Ultimate uplift design load 1 kPa.
Desired purlin spacing 3.6 m on internal spans.
Proposed purlin design
DHS 300/18 on internal lapped spans. 1 row bracing using fastBRACE.
Design load = 1 kPa x 3.6 m = 3.6 kN/m
This is less than bwb x = 3.85 kN/m from DHS load span tables.
O.K.
Check brace capacity.
From Section 2.3.9.2.
Bending moment on the brace channel.
M* = 0.75 bwb x lb m, assuming screw fixings of the roof sheets will restrain the top flange, where
bwb x is the purlin capacity. (Note: The designer may choose to use the design load instead of bwb x,
although it is recommended that brace strength is designed to match the purlin capacity.)
In this example, use bwb x = 3.85 kN/m.
1b = 10 x 0.5 m (contributing length factor table)
m = 42.6 mm (distance from shear centre to mid plane table)
Therefore, M* = 0.75 x 3.85 x 5 x 0.0426
= 0.61 kNm
Brace member moment capacity
Mb = 0.45 kN/m < 0.61 kN/m (bracing member moment capacity table)
Therefore, either reduce purlin spacing or use 2 rows bracing.
Check for 2 rows bracing
lb = 10 x 0.31 (contributing length factor table)
M*= 0.75 x 3.85 x 3.1 x 0.0426 = 0.38 kN/m < 0.45 kNm.

2.4.5 INTRODUCTION TO TOP NOTCH PURLINS CAPACITY TABLES


The capacity tables given in 2.4.6 relate to the following span configurations.
When using Top Notch over more than two spans better performance can be achieved by lapping
the sections over the supports.
Single span pinned at both ends.
Lapped end span pinned at one end and lapped at the other.
Lapped internal span lapped at both ends.
Note: Use of lapped end span tables with corresponding lapped internal span tables assumes that
the end span is within plus 5% or minus 25% of the internal span, otherwise specific design to
AS/NZS 4600 is required.

Outward loads shall be adjusted to a lower value if less screws or thinner support members
are used.
When the number of specified fixings above cannot be fixed into the Top Notch and/or
Top Notch is being installed in cyclonic regions, an additional hold-down strap should be used.
Refer detail A in Section 2.4.11 (strap capacity 20 kN).
Lap end fasteners shall be:
2 screws for the 60 and 100 Top Notch, or
4 screws for the 120 and 150 Top Notch
positioned at each end. Refer drawing 2.4.11, detail D.
A minimum distance of 20 mm from the fastener to the end of the Top Notch purlin is required.

2.4.8 DESIGN EXAMPLE TOP NOTCH PURLINS


Selected Loadings
Dead Load, G = 0.12 kPa
Live Load, Q = 0.25 kPa
Snow Load, Su = 0.5 kPa
Outward Limit State Wind Loads, Wu = 0.95 kPa (ultimate state) and Ws = 0.66 kPa
(serviceability state).
Inward Wind Loading is not significant for this roof.
Building Constraints
Portal Spacing, LP = 5 m
Roof Pitch, 

= 10 degrees

Rafter Length, LR = 10.0 m (distance from eaves purlin to


ridge purlin)
Cladding Profile = Styleline x 0.40 mm BMT

Critical Design Load Combinations for the Ultimate Limit State (AS/NZS 1170.0,
clause 4.2)
i) W*ULS
= 1.2G + 1.5Q
= (1.2 x 0.12) + (1.5 x 0.25)
= 0.52 kPa
ii) W*ULS
= 1.2G + Su +  cQ
= (1.2 x 0.12) + 0.5 + (0.0 x 0.25)
= 0.64 kPa
iii) W*ULS
= 0.9G + Wu
= (0.9 x 0.12) 0.95
= 0.84 kPa
(outward)
Critical Design Load Combinations for the Serviceability Limit State (AS/NZS 1170.0,
clause 4.3)
= LP /300 under G +  Q = [0.12 + (0.0 x 0.25)] x 300/150
= 0.24 kPa
i) W*SLS
ii) W*SLS
= LP /150 under Ws
= 0.66
= 0.66 kPa
(outward)
For i) we have converted the load by a factor of 300/150 in order to compare the load directly with
Ws in the Top Notch load span tables as these are based on span/150.
Optimise Roofing Profile Spans
In this case we have a restricted access roof where the point load requirement limits the
intermediate span of the Styleline x 0.40 mm BMT profile to 1.6 m. End spanning capability of the
roofing is reduced to 1.1 m, i.e. 70% of the intermediate span. Generally these spans will not fit the
rafter length exactly, hence the requirement to Optimise.
The optimised roofing profile intermediate span is based on the rafter length and the number of
purlins, NP (assuming at least four) and is given by LRI = LRT / [NP 1.6].
Try 7 Purlins,
Try 9 Purlins,
Try 8 Purlins,

LRI = 10.0/(7 1.6)


LRI = 10.0/(9 1.6)
LRI = 10.0/(8 1.6)

=

=

Intermediate spans and 1.26 m edge spans

From this, 8 purlins are required and the purlin spacings may be rationalised to 1.6 m intermediate
spans and 1.0 m spans at the sheet ends.

2.4.8 DESIGN EXAMPLE TOP NOTCH PURLINS continued


Optimise Purlin Size
The Top Notch load span tables assume that the top flange of the Top Notch purlin is continuously
restrained by screw fastened roof sheeting. (The tables shall not be used if the top flange is not fully
restrained.)
Check design capacities W *ULS < bWbx
1. Single Span Purlin Design
a) All Bays (5 m span)
Check design capacities (using those given in the simple span Top Notch load span tables):
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.64
= 1.02 kN/m
c.f 1.31 kN/m for a 120 x 0.95
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.84
= 1.34 kN/m
c.f 1.62 kN/m for a 150 x 1.15
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 1.6 x 0.66

1.06 kN/m

c.f 1.12 kN/m for a 150 x 1.15

Therefore both wind load outward and deflection govern and a 150 x 1.15 Top Notch purlin is
required.
Therefore use,
150 x 1.15 Top Notch purlins single span at 1.6 m intermediate spacings and 1.0 m at sheet ends.
Typically for multiple bay structures it would be more efficient to use a lapped purlin system as
shown below.
2. Lapped Span Purlin Design
a) Check End Bays (5 m span)
Check design capacities (using those given in the lapped end span Top Notch load span tables):
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.64
= 1.02 kN/m
c.f 1.18 kN/m for a 100 x 0.75
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.84
= 1.34 kN/m
c.f 1.76 kN/m for a 100 x 0.95
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 1.6 x 0.66
= 1.06 kN/m
c.f 1.15 kN/m for a 120 x 0.95
Therefore wind load deflection governs the end span and a 120 x 0.95 lapped Top Notch is required.
b) Check Internal Bays (5 m span)
Check design capacities (using those given in the lapped internal span Top Notch load span tables):
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.64
= 1.02 kN/m
c.f 1.64 kN/m for a 100 x 0.75
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.84
= 1.34 kN/m
c.f 1.64 kN/m for a 100 x 0.75
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 1.6 x 0.66
= 1.06 kN/m
c.f 1.36 kN/m for a 100 x 0.95
Therefore wind load deflection governs the internal span and a 100 x 0.95 lapped Top Notch is
required.
Therefore use,
Top Notch 120 x 0.95 lapped purlins at 1.6 m intermediate spacings and 1.0 m at sheet ends.
(The size is governed by the end bays.)
Typically,Top Notch purlins must have the same depth on all bays and different thicknesses are not
mixed when specifying Top Notch purlins for practical reasons.

2.4.8 DESIGN EXAMPLE TOP NOTCH PURLINS continued


3. Lapped Reduced-End Span Purlin Design
The dependable strength characteristics are higher for internal spans on continuously lapped span
purlin systems.Therefore typically a reduction in the end bay spacings of 20% to 30% will result in a
more efficient purlin optimisation.Try reducing the end bay span by 20% to 4 metres.
a) Check End Bays (4 m span)
Check design capacities (using those given in the lapped end span Top Notch load span tables):
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.64
= 1.02 kN/m
c.f 1.85 kN/m for a 100 x 0.75
W*ULS
= 1.6 x 0.84
= 1.34 kN/m
c.f 1.85 kN/m for a 100 x 0.75
Check deflections
W*SLS
= 1.6 x 0.66
= 1.06 kN/m
c.f 1.09 kN/m for a 100 x 0.75
Therefore all design cases require a 100 x 0.75 lapped Top Notch.
b) Check Internal Bays (5 m span)
As for example 2b) above.
A 100 x 0.95 lapped Top Notch is required.
Therefore use,
Top Notch 100 x 0.95 lapped purlins at 1.6 m intermediate spacings and 1.0 m at sheet ends, on end
and internal bays.
The above examples use the same wind load on the end bays and the internal bays. However a more
rigorous wind load analysis is likely to have different wind loads on the end and internal bays.
In the calculation of wall elements, optimisation follows the same logic as illustrated above except
the wind loading is typically lower on wall elements and the cladding spans (therefore the purlin
spacings) are not limited by foot traffic criteria.Typically girts can be spaced approximately 20%
further apart than purlins.

2.2.4 ROOFING QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE


This table is taken from the Roofing & Cladding System Manual for Design Professionals and should
be used as a quick reference guide on span and curvature limitations for all Dimond Roofing & Wall
Cladding profiles, for optimising the roofing and purlin design.
For detailed Serviceability and Ultimate Limit State design, please refer to Section 2.1.4 Specific
Profile Performance, of the Roofing & Cladding System Manual for Design Professionals.
Basis to the tables:
Roofing the spans are for roofs with restricted access. A restricted access roof is where there is
occasional foot traffic, that is educated to walk on the purlin lines, in the profile pans, or carefully
across two profile ribs.Walkways will be installed where regular traffic is expected and Restricted
Access signs placed at access points.
Walls spans are limited by acceptable appearance or an ultimate wind load of 2 kPa.
Roofing Fasteners average of 4 screw fasteners per sheet per purlin (except Windek,
3 fasteners). Based on hex-head screws without washers.The number of fasteners can be reduced
by specific design (refer to Section 2.1.4 Specific Design by Profile, in the Roofing & Cladding
Systems Manual).
Drape Curve radii are limited by acceptable roof appearance, refer to Section 2.4.2 of the
Roofing & Cladding Systems Manual.
Crimp and Roll Curve radii are limited by machine capabilities.
Overhang for restricted access roofs.The unsupported area is not intended to be used as an
access way.
