Width of Building = 40.00 m
Bay Spacing = 7.0 m C/C
End Wall Spacing = 6.0 m C/C
Clear Height = 7.55 m
Eaves Height = 9.00 m
Brick Wall Height = 7.55 m
Wind Pressure = 115.00 kg/m2
Wind Coeff on Roof = 1.14
Wind Coeff on Wall = 0.90
Slope = 10 (1:10)
Number of Joints = 8 nos
Number of Sets = 4 nos

### Total Gable Wind Force = 115 x 0.9 x [0.5 x (40/2)x(40/(2x10)) + (40 / 2)x( 9 - 7.55 ) ]

= 5071.50 Kg

Considering connection of Gable Columns with Gable Rafter as fixed,

= 0.625 * 5071.50 = 3169.7 Kg is transferred in base of gable columns

and the rest of force which is 1901.8 Kg is transferred into rafter bracing.

Force per Joint = 1901.81 = 237.7 Kg

### Maximum force in Rafter = 22.80 T

Maximum moment in Rafter = 101.10 T-m

Lever Arm = 1262 mm = 1.26 m

Total force = (22.8 + 101.1/1.26) x 1000 x 0.075 = 7727.9 Kg

Force per Joint = 7728 = 966.0 Kg

Slenderness Ratio = l / r = 174.63 < 250 [SAFE]

Permissible Stress in Axial Compression (As Per IS : 800 Table - 5.1)

Pac = 35 N/mm2
= 357 kg/cm2
Safe Load on Tube = 357 x 7.44 / 1000

Design of Column Bracing

### Force per Joint of Column Bracing = Force per Joint of Rafter Bracing

= 118.9 kgs
### Frictional Drag for Column Bracing Joint = 105 x 7.55 x0.025x115x0.9

= 512.8 kgs
### Reaction From Rafter Bracing = 1425.67 kgs

Total Force per Joint = 1425.67 + 512.81 - 118.86

= 1819.62 kgs

Force in Bracing F = R / Cos Q

Length of the Diagonal = 10.29 m

Cos Q = 0.68

Force in Bracing F = 1819.62 / 0.68
