Design Wind Speed Vz=k1.k2.k3.Vb 49 m/s

Design Wind Pressure pz=0.6Vz^2 1440.600 N/sqm
= 1.441 kN/sqm

Ht of building at eaves level, h = 9.14

Width of the building, w = 27.45
Length of the Building, l = 78.65

Hence, h/w = 0.333

and l/w = 2.865

Based on the h/w and l/w, the values of Cpe is obtained from tables as noted below:
Maximum Downward Cpe (including sign) -0.6
Maximum Upward Cpe (including sign) -1

Based on % of openings, Cpi is taken as +/- 0.2

Wind Load is included in two load combinations – DL+WL and DL+LL+WL

Since, Dead Load and Live Load are downward, DL+WL will be critical for the maximum upward wind force
Similarly, DL+LL+WL will be critical for the maximum downward wind force

WL1: Maximum Upward Wind Force – To be used in combination DL+WL1

Maximum Upward Cpe (including sign) -1

Cpi to use (for upward, use -) -0.2

Wind pressure for Purlin Design -0.576 kN/sqm

Design Calculations: Primary Load Cases – Conversion of forces to Normal And Tangential Components

Spacing of the purlin = 1.2 m

Slope of the Roof = 6 degrees

Total Dead Load = 0.223 kN/sqm

DL Normal Component = DL x Spacing x cos(slope) = 0.266 kN/m

DL Tangential Component = DL x Spacing x sin(slope) = 0.028 kN/m

Total Live Load = 0.750 kN/sqm

LL Normal Component = LL x Spacing x cos(slope) = 0.895 kN/m

LL Tangential Component = LL x Spacing x sin(slope) = 0.094 kN/m

Total Wind Load in WL1 = -1.729 kN/sqm

WL is normal to roof
Hence, WL1 normal component = WL1 x Spacing = -2.074 kN/m
And, WL1 Tangential component = 0 kN/m

Total Wind Load in WL2 = -0.576 kN/sqm

WL is normal to roof
Hence, WL2 normal component = WL2 x Spacing = -0.691 kN/m
And, WL2 Tangential component = 0 kN/m

As per clause 5.2.1.1 of IS 801,

f is the actual stress in compression element computed based on effective width

Compression stress based on full width = Max (Mxx/Zxx+Myy/Zyy) for all three unfactored combinations

Span for major axis bending = Span of purlin

Fb, the Allowable Compressive Stress based on Lateral Buckling of Flange is calculated as
X<0.18Y implies, Fb = 0.6 Fy - CASE (i)
X>0.18Y but X<0.9Y implies, Fb= 0.667 Fy – Fy . X / (2.7 Y) - CASE (ii)

As per clause 6.4.3 of IS 801 for the design check of allowable stress in combined shear and bending

In this clause, Fbw is not restricted by 0.6Fy and Fv is not restricted by 0.4Fy

Theoretical Deflection is calculated as (5/384) (wl^4/EI) for Simply Supported beam and (3/384) (wl^4/EI)

E = Modulus of Elasticity, as per IS 801 is taken as 2074000 kg/sqcm

I = Ixx 723.76 Cm^4

Hence, Theoretical Deflection = 36.01 mm

Allowable Deflection as IS codes is Span/180: 43.69 mm

Hence OK

As per MBMA, allowed deflection from Live load component must be within Span/240

Span 7.865 m
