Stayed Roof

The document calculates loads, tensions, and required cross-sectional areas for rods in a stayed structure. A uniform load of 1.2 kPa acts over a 13.2m span, resulting in a tributary load of 15.8 kN/m and total load of 190 kN. Rod A-B experiences a tension of 370 kN, while rod A-C has 248 kN, requiring cross-sectional areas of 894 mm^2 and 300 mm^2, respectively. This equates to rod diameters of 1.34 inches for A-B and 0.79 inches for A-C.

Uniform load

w = 1.2 kPa x 13.2m


Tributary load P per rod
P = w L = 15.8 kN/m x 12m

w = 15.8 kN/m
P = 190 kN

Rod tension
TA-B = from vector triangle

TA-B = 370 kN

TA-C = from vector triangle

TA-C = 248 kN

Rods A-B cross section (2 rods)


A = TA-B / (2 Fa) = 370 / (2 x 207,000)
A = 0.000894 m2 x 106
A = 894 mm2
Rod diameter
= 2 (A/)1/2 = 2 (894/ )1/2
2 34 mm
Convert to inches 34/25.4
2 1.34
Rods A-C cross section (4 rods)
A=TA-C /(4Fa)=248/(4x207,000)
A = 0.0003 m2x106
A = 300 mm2
Rod diameter
= 2 (A/)1/2 = 2 (300/3.14)1/2 4 20 mm
Convert to inches (mm/25.4)
4 0.79
