LATERAL STABILITY OF PURLINS

THROUGH-FASTENED
ROOF
The use of a through-fastened roof does not preclude the

need for proper purlin bracing. The roof structure can
provide lateral stability but supplies no torsional stability
whatsoever for Z or C sections. Discrete bracing should
therefore be incorporated in the design phase in order to
control torsionalflexural buckling.
STANDING
DEFINITION
OF DISCRETE BRACING
A discrete brace can take a multitude of different forms as

seen in the figures below. All of these types of bracing are
discrete because the movement is controlled only at the
particular brace point (Galambos 1998). The required bracing force and stiffness for this type of brace is dependant
upon the number of braces provided
SEAM ROOF
The use of a standing seam roof does not preclude the need
for adequate purlin bracing. The roof structure can only
provide partial lateral stability and supplies no torsional
stability whatsoever for Z or C sections. Discrete bracing
should therefore be incorporated in the design phase in
order to control torsionalflexural buckling.

ANCHORAGE
OF PURLIN BRACING (ANTI-ROLL SAFEGUARD)
If no discrete bracing line is used, anchorage is required at each purlin support, which must be designed to resist in-plane
forces. In certain instances, anti-roll clips may also be necessary.

If one or more discrete bracing lines are used between purlin supports, the supports must be designed to resist in-plane
forces as explained in the paragraph above. Substantial anchorage is required for the discrete bracing line at each eave and
ridge end. The applied load on each line can be calculated according to standard S136.

NOTE: The purlin bracing is always
installed in the same way regardless
of the secondary member being used,
including C and Z sections, struts,
angles, etc.

Choice:
new nomenclature: 305Z76-326M; former nomenclature: Z305x14
Assumption: the roof deck only partially maintains the compression flange on the Z section with a standing

Imin (deflection < span / 180) = 180 x 5 x (wn sl + wn wp) x Lx3 / (384 x 200,000 MPa) = 8.173 x 106 mm.
The Ix inertia of section 305Z76-326M according to the catalog is 22 x 106 mm4 greater than the minimum inertia.
Section 305Z76-326M (Z305x14) is acceptable.

STEP 5: DESIGN
OF THE ROW OF BRACING MEMBERS AND THE RIDGE CONNECTION
According to the information in table 1 on page 13, the factored vertical load of a 6,000 mm purlin with a 2/12 pitch and a
bracing line is 0.367/section/1.0 kN/m.
The axial load of 8 sloped sections with a factored vertical load of 5.48 kN/m is:
0.367 x 8 purlins per slope x 5.48 kN/m = 16.1 kN factored/bracing line.
The local lateral restraint must be sized from top to bottom to transfer this load. In our example, the pitch is 2/12, the
lateral restraint could be an angle welded from top to bottom with a cross bridging weld every 3 spaces from top to bottom.
Other types of lateral restraint can also be used (see the beginning of the present section).
In our example, the 16.1 kN load will be offset by the component connecting the Z section on each side of the ridge.
The sizing of this part must be designed to achieve 16.1 kN where the section will be attached.
STEP 6: DESIGN
OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE
PN
EFFORT
The Pn effort per section in each top flange above the support is 2.01 kN, which is equivalent to 0.367 (as indicated in
table 1 on page 13) multiplied by 5.48 kN/m.
The moment developed in the section is equal to Pn x height of the section = Mf support = 2.01 kN x 305 mm =
613.05 kNmm.
Mr support = 0.9 x (Sx) x Fy = 0.9 x [(width at the bearing) x (thickness of the section)2 /4] x 0.350 = 186.07 kNmm
Where: width at the bearing = height of the section in mm.
Mf> Mr NOT ACCEPTABLE.
According to Step 4, an anti-roll clip must be installed between the web and the support. Two options are possible at this
stage: the use of either a stiffener or an angle of suitable thickness (see page 8 for examples of anti-roll stiffeners).
If an angle is used, it must have a minimum thickness of 8 mm by 200 mm wide and 200 mm high, which is equivalent to
Mr = 864 kNmm. The use of this option presumes that only the angle is connected to the support. The choice of a 75 mm
long by 200 mm high by 3 mm thick bearing stiffener would allow for a 200 mm wide by 200 mm high by 3 mm thick angle,
which is lighter.
General notes:
In the example above, the use of only one local lateral restraint slightly increases the weight of the Z section. However, the
second discrete bracing line could have a greater impact.
Consider the results with 2 rows:
2 discrete bracing lines with the same pitch: 254Z76-290M with a Pn = 0.167 of the table x 8 x 5.48 kN/m =
7.3 kN/bracing line.
Note that if no discrete bracing line had been used in this second example, it would not be considered acceptable even in
the presence of several sag rod lines and with the largest available section.
The choice of conventional steel deck instead of a standing seam roof is slightly conservative for a sloped roof when the
tables in the present catalog are used.

buckling and torsion at a third of the span and hold
the girt line straight ; metal siding on outside flange
attached every 310 mm c/c.

I x = 6.2 x 10 6 mm 4
229S89-181M
I x = 6.9 x 10 6 mm 4
254S89-144M
I x = 7.1 x 10 6 mm 4
The table also indicates that the strength of these three
profiles:
Mu with 2,500 mm of unsupported compression flange > M f+
Mu with 2,500 mm of unsupported compression flange > M fThe X bracings must be connected to the section according
to standard S136-07 as described in the section entitled
Lateral Stability of Purlins (see pages 7-12).
Vr > Vf
Pr > Vf, except for 254S89-144M. If this section is selected,
the connection to the support must be made by bolting
the web to prevent web crippling over the bearing.
The final selection will be determined according to the
other bays of the building and the desired economy
in steel or space.

Mu with 8 ft. 4 in. of unsupported compression flange > M f-

buckling and torsion at a third of the span and
hold the girt line straight; metal siding on outside
flange attached every 12 inches c/c.
Pressure wf = 1.4 x 14.6 psf x 5.0 ft. = 102 plf
Suction
wf = 1.4 x 12.5 psf x 5.0 ft. = 88 plf
M f+ = 0.102 kip/ft. x (25 ft.)2 / 8 = 8.0 kipft.
M f- = 0.088 kip/ft. x (25 ft.)2 / 8 = 6.9 kipft.
Vf
