Width of the building, w = 24 m

Length of the Building, l = 44 m

Hence, h/w = 0.265

and l/w = 1.833

Based on the h/w and l/w, the values of Cpe is obtained from tables as noted below:
Maximum Downward Cpe (including sign) -1.2
Maximum Upward Cpe (including sign) -0.8

Based on % of openings, Cpi is taken as +/- 0.7

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) -1.2

Cpi to use (for upward, use -) -0.7

Hence, Cpe+Cpi = -1.9

Design Wind Pressure pz 0.900 kN/sqm

Wind pressure for Purlin Design -1.709 kN/sqm

WL2: Maximum Downward Wind Force To be used in combination DL+LL+WL2

Maximum Downward Cpe (including sign) -0.8

Cpi to use (for upward, use -) 0.7

Hence, Cpe+Cpi = -0.1

Design Wind Pressure pz 0.900 kN/sqm

Wind pressure for Purlin Design -0.090 kN/sqm

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

Spacing of the purlin = 1.15 m

Slope of the Roof = 10 degrees

Total Dead Load = 0.174 kN/sqm

DL Normal Component = DL x Spacing x cos(slope) = 0.197 kN/m

DL Tangential Component = DL x Spacing x sin(slope) = 0.035 kN/m

Total Live Load = 0.750 kN/sqm

LL Normal Component = LL x Spacing x cos(slope) = 0.849 kN/m

LL Tangential Component = LL x Spacing x sin(slope) = 0.150 kN/m

Total Wind Load in WL1 = -1.709 kN/sqm

WL is normal to roof
Hence, WL1 normal component = WL1 x Spacing = -1.966 kN/m
And, WL1 Tangential component = 0.000 kN/m

Total Wind Load in WL2 = -0.090 kN/sqm

WL is normal to roof
Hence, WL2 normal component = WL2 x Spacing = -0.103 kN/m
And, WL2 Tangential component = 0.000 kN/m

From above calculations, the components of load in the various load combinations are tabulated

Hence Ok Design is restricted to Fully Effective Section

Maximum Compressive Stress based on Lateral Buckling of Flange, as per Clause 6.3 of IS 801

Calculate X=L2Sxc/(dIyc)

and Y = Pi2ECb/Fy

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)
X>0.9Y implies Fb = 0.3 Fy . Y / X - CASE (iii)

L = Unbraced Length of member = Span / (Number of sagrods+1) 275 cm

Sxc = Compression Section Modulus of section about major axis = Zxx 53.50 Cm^3
d = Depth of Section = 20 cm
Iyc = Moment of Inertia of the compression portion = Iyy/2 14.6 Cm^4

Hence, X = 13855.950 (Unitless)

Pi = 3.1415926536
E = Modulus of Elasticity, as per IS 801 is taken as 2074000 kgf/sqcm
Cb as per IS 801 can be taken conservatively assuming M1=0 (end span) 1.75
Fy = 2400 kg/sqcm

Hence Y = 14925.720 (Unitless)

Hence, 0.18 Y = 2686.630

And, 0.9 Y = 13433.148

Comparing X with 0.18Y and 0.9Y, the applicable case is 3

Hence, Fb = 0.3 Fy . Y / X
= 775.588710987 kg/sqcm
= 77.559 N/sqmm

Basic Allowable Design Stress = 0.6Fy 1440 kg/sqcm

= 144 N/sqmm

Hence, allowable stress is calculated as lower of the two = 77.559 N/sqmm

Safety Ratio 0.991 0.999 0.687

Max. Safety Ratio 0.999 Ok

Shear Stress in Web

As per clause 6.4.1 of IS 801,allowed maximum average shear stress Fv in kgf/sqcm is calculated as

Case 1: If h/t is less than 4590/sqrt(Fy), Fv=1275 x sqrt(Fy) / (h/t) 1275 x sqrt(Fy)/(h/t) = 1015.773
Case 2: If h/t is more than 4590/sqrt(Fy), Fv=5850000 / (h/t)^2 5850000/(h/t)^2 = 1547.098
Both are subject to maximum 0.4Fy 0.4Fy = 960

h 193.700 mm (Clear Depth between flanges = Depth 2 x thickness)

t 3.150
Hence, h/t = 61.492

4590/sqrt(Fy) = 93.693

Hence, Case is : 1

Hence, Fv = 1275 x sqrt(Fy)/(h/t), subject to maximum of 0.4Fy

= 960.000 kgf/sqcm

Actual Shear '=wl/2 Here, w = SQRT(Wn^2+Wt^2)

DL+LL 0.75(DL+WL1) 0.75(DL+LL+WL2)

Normal Load 1.046 -1.327 0.707 kN/m
Tangential Load 0.185 0.026 0.138 kN/m

w= 1.063 1.327 0.721 kN/m

Hence, Shear= 2.922 3.649 1.982 kN
Shear Stress fv=V/dt 4.789 5.980 3.249

Stress Ratio 0.050 0.062 0.034

Max. Shear Stress Ratio in Web 0.062

Hence Ok

Bending Stress in Web

As per clause 6.4.2of IS 801 for the design check of allowable stress in combined shear and bending
Fbw = 36560000/(h/t)^2
Here, h/t already calculated above as 61.492

Hence, Fbw = 9668.699 kg/sqcm

966.870 N/sqmm
Basic Allowable Design Stress calculated earlier = 0.6Fy
144 N/sqmm

Hence, governing value for Fbw = 144.000 N/sqmm

Already calculated fbw = Mxx/Zxx since Zyy at web is very high (x=t/2, Z=I/x)
DL+LL DL+WL1 DL+LL+WL2
Mxx/Zxx 59.171 99.989 53.322 N/sqmm
Fbw 144.00 191.952 191.952

Safety Ratio 0.411 0.521 0.278

Max. Safety Ratio 0.521
In summary, Bending stresses in Web is: Ok

Combined Shear and Bending Stresses in Web

As per clause 6.4.3 of IS 801 for the design check of allowable stress in combined shear and bending
SQRT((fbw/Fbw)^2+(fv/Fv)^2) must be less than 1

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

DL+LL DL+WL1 DL+LL+WL2

Hence, Fbw = 966.870 1289.160 1289.160
And Fv = 1015.773 1354.364 1354.364

Actual stresses already calculated are

fbw 59.171 99.989 53.322
fv= 4.789 5.980 3.249

fbw/Fbw 0.061 0.078 0.041

SQRT of sum of squar 0.061 0.078 0.041

In summary, Combined stresses in Web is: Ok

Design Calculations: Deflection Check

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

Here, number of spans = 3

Hence, formula to use = (3/384) (wl^4/EI)

w is normal component of unfactored distributed load in kN/m, max. of all load combinations
= 1.768 kN/m

L = Span of the Purlin 5.500 m

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

= 207400 N/sqmm

I = Ixx 535.00 Cm^4

Hence, Theoretical Deflection = 11.39 mm

Allowable Deflection as IS codes is Span/180: 30.56 mm

Hence Ok

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

Span 5.500 m
or 5500 mm

Span/240 = 22.92 mm

Normal Component of Live Load 0.85 kN/m

Hence, deflection from Live Load = 5.47 mm

Hence Ok

Result 4: Check for Deflection: OK
