PURLIN DESIGN
Purlin design based on

Code Abbreviation

CSA-S16-09 Limit States Design of Steel Structures

CSA-S16-09

NBCC 2005 Division B 4.1.7

NBC05

NBCC 2005 Commentary I

NBC05 Comment I

Assumptions
1. When purlin is subjected to dead & snow load, purlin top flange is fully supported by roof sheeting
2. When purlin is subjected to uplift wind force, purlin bottom flange is unsupported and unsupport length is full span
3. Gravity load is applied at purlin top flange. The component parallels to the roof will cause torsion to purlin.
Use only half of minor axis flexure resistance capacity in the design to account the torsional effect.
4. Sag rods act as transverse supports for minor axis (y-axis) bending
