Design for Roof Purlins

Using an 8" ZEE Purlins with the following properties Use

Fy = 36 ksi Fu = 55 ksi 8" ZEE Purlins
Self Weight, sw = 2.51 ppf with tie bars
Thickness, t = 1.50 mm 0.06 in 1.5 @ 19 ft 8 in
Depth, d = 200 mm 7.87 in 200
Flange Width, f = 51 mm 2.01 in 49
Lip Length, l = 14.5 mm 0.57 in 12.5
Cross Sectional Area, A = 497 mm2 0.77 in2
Ixx = 2870132 mm4
Ixx = 6.8955206 in4
Y = 100 mm 3.94 in
Sx = 28701.324 mm3 1.75 in3

Design Requirements
ASCE 7-05 Designing for worst case scenario
2.4.1.7 Wu = 0.6 DL + 1.2 W
Span, L = 20 ft 0 in Every
Spacing, s = 3 ft 0 in 3 ft 0 in
Weight of Roof Panels = 10.0 psf
Weight of ceiling panels = 4.2 psf
Dead Load Pressure = 10 + 4.2 = 14.2 psf
Wind Load = -45.00 psf

UDL,DL = (10 + 4.2) x 3 = 42.6 ppf

UDL,WL = -45 x 3 = -135 ppf

WUDL = (0.6 x -135) + (1.2 x 42.6)= -30 ppf or -0.02988 kpf

Mu = -1.5 k-ft

Flexural Yeilding Limit State

Fy = 36 ksi
Mn = FySx = 36 x 1.75 / 12 = 5.25 k-ft
Ma = Mn/Ωb = 5.25 / 1.67 = 3.15 k-ft OK

Lateral Torsional Buckling

The compression flange is continuously braced by the roofing panels,
therefore, this failure mode is not applicable
