Based on Figure, the preceeding Load

Combination Becomes:

At strong Axis:
Wn = (1.2D + 1.6L)cosϴ + 0.5W
Wn = [1.2(0.022661) + 1.6(0.700)]cos(11.31) + 0.5(-0.62)
Wx = -0.14 KN/m

Wn = (1.2D + 0.5L)cosϴ + 1.6W

Wn = [1.2(0.022661) + 0.5(0.700)]cos(11.31) + 1.6(-0.62)
Wn = -0.87 KN/m

Therefore, Use Wn = -0.87 KN/m

 CHECK AGAINST FLEXURE:

fa = [ (MN/Sx)+(MT/Sy) ]
fa = -192.80 MPa

Fa= 0.66 Fy Fy
Fa= 163.68 MPa

fa = -192.80 MPa < Fa = 163.68 MPa

Therefore, safe against flexure

ΨN = WNL4/384EIx ΨT = WTL4/384EIy
ΨN = -0.02 mm ΨT = -0.36 mm

Ψmax actual = √ (ΨN) 2+ (ΨT) 2 Ψallow = L/240

Ψmax actual = 0.36 mm Ψallow = 20.83 mm

Ψmax actual 0.36 < Ψallow = 20.83 mm

Therefore the section is safe.

 Weight of Purlins
In addition to being advantageous in reducing moments about the WP = 0.10 kN/m x Bl/2 x NO. OF PURL
web axes of purlins, sag rods can serve other useful purposes. WP = 2.70 KN
First,they can provide lateral support for the purlins; second, they
WDL = WR + WP
are useful in keeping the purlins in proper alignment during
erection until the roof deck is installed and connected to the WDL =0.04 + 2.70
purlins. WDL = 2.73 KN

L = 138.34 mm Therefore use L1=60mm and L2=30mm and 3mm
fillet weld on both sides of L40x40x5.

Data:
Pact = 38176.80 N Maximum actual force
Using Single Equal Angle Section:
L40x40x5
y1 = 11.62 mm D = 40.00 mm
Size of weld = 3.00 mm ,minimum size of fillet weld (table 510.2.3)
from NSCP 2010
Using E60XXElectrode:
Structural Steel Design” by DIT Gellesania
FU = 425 MPa

Fy = 248 MPa ,using A36 Steel        Use L = 141.17 mm

Checking for the capacity of the member: Balanced Condition
Allowable Shear on Effective Area of Weld: L1 y1 = L2 y2
FV = .30FU from table 3.2, pg-130 (9.18)L1 = (30-9.18) L2
FV = 128 MPa L1 = 2.44 L₂
Allowable Shear on Base Metal: But,
FV = .40Fy from table 3.2, pg-130 L1 + L2 = L
FV = 99.2 MPa 2.27L2 + L2 = 141.17 mm
Solving for Length (L) : L2 = 41.01 mm
Based on Weld Metal Shear ≈ 30.00 mm
Pact = (.707) t L Fv
Pact = 38176.80 N L1 = 2.44 L₂
L = 141.17 mm L1 = 100.16 mm
≈ 60.00 mm
Based on Base Metal Shear
Av = t L
Av = 3.00 L
Pact = Av Fv CONCLUSION:
L = 128.28 mm Therefore use L1=60mm and L2=30mm an
