DESIGN OF TOP CHORD

MAIN TRUSS

WEIGHT OF ROOFI

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:
Kind of Wood = Yakal
Weight of Wood: = 7.46 kN/m3
Allowable bending stress = 19.3 Mpa WEIGHT OF LIVE L
Allowable shearing stress = 1.96 Mpa
Wind Velocity = 200 Kph
Maximum Design Stress = 586.6 kN
From design of Purlins:
Size of Purlins = 100mm x 150mm
Spacing of Purlins = 0.8817 m
Spacing of Truss = 2.375 m
Weight of Roofing = 1.199 kPa
Live Load = 1.44 kPa
Layer Length = 7.816
MOMENT
Fa = Fb (1-L/60D) if L/d > 15
Fa = 0.75 Fb if L/d < 15

NUMBER OF PURLINS TRIAL AREA

Layer Length = 7.816 m

Number of Purlins = layer length / spacing of purlins
= 7.816/0.8817
= 8.8646932 say 9
WEIGHT OF PURLINS

Wt = size of purlins x spacing of truss x weight of wood

= (0.1 x 0.15) x 2.375 x 7.46
= 0.2657625 kN
 Weight of Purlins Carried per Panel WEIGHT OF TOP CHORD
Wt = weight of Purlins x number of purlins Wt =

M=
Weight of Purlins
Wt = weight carried per panel / layer length

WEIGHT OF ROOFING
CHECKING:
Wt = weight of roofing x spacing of truss fa =
= 1.199 x 2.375
= 2.847625 kN/m
fb =
WEIGHT OF LIVE LOAD

Wt = live load x spacing of truss Fa =

= 1.44 x 1.875 =
= 3.42 kN/m
L
Total Weight of Load Carried per Panel d
Wt = Wt of purlins + Wt of roofing + Wt of live load
= 0.2657625 + 1.199 + 1.44
= 2.9047625 kN/m
