GIRT DESIGN - C CHANNEL

Girt design based on

Code Abbreviation

CSA-S16-09 Limit States Design of Steel Structures

CSA-S16-09

AISC Design Guide 7: Industrial Buildings-Roofs to Anchor Rods 2nd Ed

AISC Design Guide 7

Assumptions

Code Reference

1. Girt is simply supported at building column grids

2. Girt exterior flange is laterally fully supported by wall cladding when cladding is subjected
to pressure load

AISC Design Guide 7

3. Sag rods are assumed to provide lateral restraint against buckling when cladding is subjected

page 17

to suction load
4. Girt and wall caldding self-weight are supported by sag rods hanging from roof eave strut beam
and thus no minor axis bending is considered in girt design
