Roof Load Calculation: Preliminary Data Building Dimension

The document provides calculations for roof load and design of purlins for a hospital building. It includes preliminary data on building dimensions and material properties. It then calculates dead loads, live loads, and wind loads per square meter based on specifications. The critical load combination of dead and wind loads results in an uplift of -1.47 kN/m requiring a section modulus of 27,504.8 mm3. The combination of dead and live loads requires a section modulus of 25,997.172 mm3, so a SHS 1.5" section is chosen.

Roof Load Calculation :

1 Preliminary Data
1.1 Building Dimension
Height of the Building (including the truss structure) 6.5 m
Width Of the Building (W) 21.42 m
Length of the Building (l) 15.32 m
Pitch Height 1 m
Angle 8.3 degree
Longest span of Purlin 7.40 m
Spacing of Purlin 0.99 m
1.2 Material Property
Stress of the Steel Section 250 Mpa

2 Load Calcualtion
2.1 DL Loads
Weight of Roofing Materials 200 N/m2
Tiles/Water proofing N/m2
Purlins @ 0.99 m c/c N/m2
Other accessories 50 N/m2
Total DL 250 N/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m 0.25 KN/m

2.2 IL (750 N/m2) (IS 875 - PART 2)


reduce for inclination of roof by 0.02 kN/m2 for every degree
rise of slope beyond 10 degrees.
Hence the live load intensity= 750-(20*(8.3-10)) 784 N/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m 0.78 KN/m

2.3 Wind Load (IS 875 - PART 3)


Design wind speed, Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3
Basic Wind Speed, Vb 47 m/s
k1 (Since the building is a hospital Building) 1
k2 (Category 1 and Class A) 1
k3 (for slope less than 3 degree) 1
or, Vz = 47x1x1x1=47 47.00 m/s
Design wind pressure, Pz = 0.6*Vz 2
1325.40 N/m2

Wind Load, F = (Cpe-Cpi)*Pd*A


h/w= 0.303 and L/w=0.715 and angle 8.3 Degree
From table 5 (1S 875- Part 3) for the angle 0 degree

900(cpe4)
E G
0 cpe1
0 00 Cpe3
F H

EF (Cpe1) 900(cpe2) -0.8


(GH) Cpe3 -0.4
Cpe -0.8
EG (Cpe2) -0.75
(FH )Cpe4 -0.6
Cpe -0.75

Similarly, Cpi = (the opening area is considered to be less


than 20% of the wall area ) 0.5
here, h/w = 6.096m/8m = 0.762
Maximum Wind Load per unit area = F =(cpe±Cpi) xPz
In Wind ward direction F=(-0.8 - 0.5 )x1325.4 -1723.02 N/m2
In Lee ward direction F=(-0.75 - 0.5 )x1325.4 -1656.75 N/m2

In Wind ward direction F=(-0.8 + 0.5 )x1325.4 -397.62 N/m2


In Lee ward direction F=(-0.75 + 0.5 )x1325.4 -331.35 N/m2

Maximum Wind Load per unit area -1723.02 N/m2


Load per m in Purlin,w -1.71 KN/m

3 Design of Purlins:
3.1 Considering wind and DL combination.
Longest span of Purlin 7.4 m
Spacing of Purlin 0.99 m
The Critical load combination would be (DL+WL) uplift -1.45 kN/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m -1.47 KN/m
Maximum Moment = -10059887.2 kN/m
Section Modulus Required, Zreq = 27504.8 mm3
yield stress of steel = 250 Mpa
3.2 Considering DL and IL combination.
Longest span of Purlin 7.4 m
Spacing of Purlin 0.99 m
The Critical load combination would be (DL+IL) 1.034 kN/m2
Load per m in Purlin, Spacing of Purlin is 0.99 m 1.04444444444 kN/m
Maximum Moment = 7149222.22222 Nmm
Section Modulus Required, Zreq = 25997.172 mm3
Thus, Choose SHS 1.5" (THK. 3.60 mm) yield stress of steel = 250 Mpa
0.914634
9.756098
