THROUGH-FASTENED ROOFThe use of a through-fastened roof does not preclude theneed for proper purlin bracing. The roof structure can provide lateral stability but supplies no torsional stabilitywhatsoever for Z or C sections. Discrete bracing shouldtherefore be incorporated in the design phase in order tocontrol torsional–flexural buckling.

STANDING SEAM ROOFThe use of a standing seam roof does not preclude the needfor adequate purlin bracing. The roof structure can onlyprovide partial lateral stability and supplies no torsional stability whatsoever for Z or C sections. Discrete bracingshould therefore be incorporated in the design phase inorder to control torsional–flexural buckling.

DEFINITION OF DISCRETE BRACINGA discrete brace can take a multitude of different forms asseen in the figures below. All of these types of bracing arediscrete because the movement is controlled only at theparticular brace point (Galambos 1998). The required brac-ing force and stiffness for this type of brace is dependantupon the number of braces provided

ANCHORAGE OF PURLIN BRACING (ANTI-ROLL SAFEGUARD)If no discrete bracing line is used, anchorage is required at each purlin support, which must be designed to resist in-planeforces. In certain instances, anti-roll clips may also be necessary.

If one or more discrete bracing lines are used between purlin supports, the supports must be designed to resist in-planeforces as explained in the paragraph above. Substantial anchorage is required for the discrete bracing line at each eave andridge end. The applied load on each line can be calculated according to standard S136.

Example:

Single span of Lx = 6,000 mm with a 1,100 mm spacing between Z sections.

There are 9 sections (7 spaces of 1,100 mm) per building slope with a roof pitch of 41.67 in 250 mm (angle of a = 9.46 degrees).

The sloped length of one side is 8,000 mm with 300 mm between the ridge and the last section.

Loads: Dead load (dl) of 1.0 kPaSnow load (sl) = 2.4 kPaGross wind load in pressure (wp) = 0.6 kPa and 1.2 kPa of wind uplift (wu)

STEP 1: CALCULATION OF Z SECTION WN AND WT LOADS FOR EACH LOAD

wn dl = dl cos (a) Spacing = 1.09 kN/mwn sl = sl [cos (a)]2 Spacing = 2.57 kN/m

wn wp = wp Spacing = 0.66 kN/mwn wu = wu Spacing = 1.32 kN/m

wt dl = dl sin (a) Spacing = 0.18 kN/mwt sl = sl [sin (a)]2 Spacing = 0.07 kN/m

STEP 2: LOAD COMBINATIONS ACCORDING TO THE 2005 NATIONAL BUILDING CODE

Gravity: the greater of: 1.25 wn dl + 1.5 wn sl + 0.4 wn wp = 5.48 kN/m control1.25 wn dl + 0.5 wn sl + 1.4 wn wp = 3.57 kN/m

total wn = 5.48 kN/m

total wt = 0.33 kN/m

Uplift: 0.90 wn dl – 1.4 wn wu = – 0.87 kN/m

STEP 3: CALCULATION OF LOADS ACCORDING TO WT AND WN

Single span: Mf x = total wn Lx2 / 8 = 24.66 kN•mMf y = total wt Lt2 / 8 = 0.37 kN•m

Where: Lt is the maximum distance between supports where discrete bracings are found.Assumption: According to the Canam table, one row of local lateral restraints at regular intervals,

therefore, Lt = 3,000 mm.Vf = total Wn Lx / 2 = 16.44 kNMf uplift = uplift Lx2 / 8 = – 3.92 kN•m

STEP 4: PRELIMINARY CHOICE OF A SECTION

Choice: new nomenclature: 305Z76-326M; former nomenclature: Z305x14

Assumption: the roof deck only partially maintains the compression flange on the Z section with a standingseam roof. Connections every 610 mm c/c provide only partial lateral support.

Calculation of the moment under gravity loads

Value of the Canam table (Mu) for Lt = 3,000 mm = 26.5 kN•mMrx = Mu Mry = 0.9 Sy Fy = 6.77 kN•m

where Sy = 21.8 x 103 mm3 and Fy = 345 MPa according to the Canam table

Interaction equationsMfx / Mrx + Mfy / Mry = 0.99 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE

Calculation of the moment under uplift loads

Mr uplift = Value of the Canam table (Mu for Lt = 3,000 mm) = 26.5 kN•m

Note: local lateral restraints can be used for uplift.

Mf uplift / Mr uplift = 0.15 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE

Calculation of shear (worst case scenario is shear near the support)

Vr = Value of the Canam table (Vr) = 92.90 kNVf / Vr = 0.18 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE

Calculation of web crippling with 100 mm of bearing

Pr = Value of the Canam table (Pr) = 24.80 kN

Pr reduced because of the pitch = Pr [sin (90–a)]2 = 24.13 kN

Vf / Pr reduced = 0.68 <= 1 ACCEPTABLEReinforcement between the bearing andthe support in the section’s web is thereforenot required in this step.

Calculation of deflection

Imin (deflection < span / 180) = 180 x 5 x (wn sl + wn wp) x Lx3 / (384 x 200,000 MPa) = 8.173 x 106 mm.

The Ix inertia of section 305Z76-326M according to the catalog is 22 x 106 mm4 greater than the minimum inertia.

Section 305Z76-326M (Z305x14) is acceptable.

STEP 5: DESIGN OF THE ROW OF BRACING MEMBERS AND THE RIDGE CONNECTION

According to the information in table 1 on page 13, the factored vertical load of a 6,000 mm purlin with a 2/12 pitch and abracing line is 0.367/section/1.0 kN/m.

The axial load of 8 sloped sections with a factored vertical load of 5.48 kN/m is:0.367 x 8 purlins per slope x 5.48 kN/m = 16.1 kN factored/bracing line.

The local lateral restraint must be sized from top to bottom to transfer this load. In our example, the pitch is ≤ 2/12, the lateral restraint could be an angle welded from top to bottom with a cross bridging weld every 3 spaces from top to bottom.Other types of lateral restraint can also be used (see the beginning of the present section).

In our example, the 16.1 kN load will be offset by the component connecting the Z section on each side of the ridge. The sizing of this part must be designed to achieve 16.1 kN where the section will be attached.

STEP 6: DESIGN OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE PN EFFORT

The Pn effort per section in each top flange above the support is 2.01 kN, which is equivalent to 0.367 (as indicated in table 1 on page 13) multiplied by 5.48 kN/m.

The moment developed in the section is equal to Pn x height of the section = Mf support = 2.01 kN x 305 mm = 613.05 kN•mm.

Mr support = 0.9 x (Sx) x Fy = 0.9 x [(width at the bearing) x (thickness of the section)2 /4] x 0.350 = 186.07 kN•mmWhere: width at the bearing = height of the section in mm.

Mf> Mr NOT ACCEPTABLE.According to Step 4, an anti-roll clip must be installed between the web and the support. Two options are possible at thisstage: the use of either a stiffener or an angle of suitable thickness (see page 8 for examples of anti-roll stiffeners).

If an angle is used, it must have a minimum thickness of 8 mm by 200 mm wide and 200 mm high, which is equivalent to Mr = 864 kN•mm. The use of this option presumes that only the angle is connected to the support. The choice of a 75 mmlong by 200 mm high by 3 mm thick bearing stiffener would allow for a 200 mm wide by 200 mm high by 3 mm thick angle,which is lighter.

General notes:

In the example above, the use of only one local lateral restraint slightly increases the weight of the Z section. However, thesecond discrete bracing line could have a greater impact.

Consider the results with 2 rows:

2 discrete bracing lines with the same pitch: 254Z76-290M with a Pn = 0.167 of the table x 8 x 5.48 kN/m = 7.3 kN/bracing line.

Note that if no discrete bracing line had been used in this second example, it would not be considered acceptable even inthe presence of several sag rod lines and with the largest available section.

The choice of conventional steel deck instead of a standing seam roof is slightly conservative for a sloped roof when thetables in the present catalog are used.

Example: Single span of 7,500 mm, spacing of 1,600 mm:

external pressure + internal suction (0.38 + 0.32) = 0.70 kPaexternal suction + internal pressure (0.28 + 0.32) = 0.60 kPa

Use two X bracings to prevent the section from buckling and torsion at a third of the span and holdthe girt line straight ; metal siding on outside flangeattached every 310 mm c/c.

Pressure wf = 1.4 x 0.70 kPa x 1.6 m = 1.57 kN/mSuction wf = 1.4 x 0.60 kPa x 1.6 m = 1.34 kN/mMf

The Properties table lists many profiles with a value ofIx greater than Imin:

203S70-254M Ix = 6.2 x 106 mm4

229S89-181M Ix = 6.9 x 106 mm4

254S89-144M Ix = 7.1 x 106 mm4

The table also indicates that the strength of these three profiles:

Mu with 2,500 mm of unsupported compression flange > Mf+

Mu with 2,500 mm of unsupported compression flange > Mf-

The X bracings must be connected to the section accordingto standard S136-07 as described in the section entitledLateral Stability of Purlins (see pages 7-12).

Vr > Vf

Pr > Vf, except for 254S89-144M. If this section is selected,the connection to the support must be made by bolting the web to prevent web crippling over the bearing.

The final selection will be determined according to the other bays of the building and the desired economy in steel or space.

external pressure + internal suction (8.0 + 6.6) = 14.6 psfexternal suction + internal pressure (5.9 + 6.6) = 12.5 psf

Use two X bracings to prevent the section from buckling and torsion at a third of the span and holdthe girt line straight; metal siding on outside flangeattached every 12 inches c/c.

Pressure wf = 1.4 x 14.6 psf x 5.0 ft. = 102 plfSuction wf = 1.4 x 12.5 psf x 5.0 ft. = 88 plfMf

The table also indicates that the strength of these threeprofiles:Mu with 8 ft. 4 in. of unsupported compression flange > Mf

The X bracings must be connected to the section accordingto standard S136-07 as described in the section entitledLateral Stability of Purlins (see pages 7-12).

Vr > Vf

Pr > Vf, except for 1000S350-57. If this section is selected, the connection to the support must be made by bolting the web to prevent web crippling over the bearing.

The final selection will be determined according to the other bays of the building and the desired economy in steel or space.

Example: Single span of 7,500 mm, spacing of 1,600 mm:

external pressure + internal suction (0.38 + 0.32) = 0.70 kPaexternal suction + internal pressure (0.28 + 0.32) = 0.60 kPa

Use two X bracings to prevent the section from buckling and torsion at a third of the span and hold the girt line straight; metal siding on outsideflange attached every 310 mm c/c.

Pressure wf = 1.4 x 0.70 kPa x 1.6 m = 1.57 kN/mSuction wf = 1.4 x 0.60 kPa x 1.6 m = 1.34 kN/mMf

+ = 1.57 kN/m x (7.5 m)2 / 8 = 11.04 kN•mMf

- = 1.34 kN/m x (7.5 m)2 / 8 = 9.45 kN•mVf = 1.57 kN/m x 7.5 m / 2 = 5.89 kNImin (deflection < span / 180) = 180 x 5 x 1.12 kN/m x (7,500 mm)3

384 x 200,000 MPa= 5.5 x 106 mm4

The Properties table lists many profiles with a value of Ix greater than Imin:

203Z76-218M Ix = 5.7 x 106 mm4

229Z76-181M Ix = 6.4 x 106 mm4

254Z76-181M Ix = 8.1 x 106 mm4

The table also indicates that the strength of these three profiles:

Mu with 2,500 mm of unsupported compression flange > Mf+

Mu with 2,500 mm of unsupported compression flange > Mf-

The X bracings must be connected to the section accordingto standard S136-07 as described in the section entitledLateral Stability of Purlins (see pages 7-12).

Vr > Vf

Pr > Vf

The final selection will be determined according to the other bays of the building and the desired economy in steel or space.

Example: Single span of 25 ft., spacing of 5 ft.:

external pressure + internal suction (8.0 + 6.6) = 14.6 psfexternal suction + internal pressure (5.9 + 6.6) = 12.5 psf

Use two X bracings to prevent the section from buckling and torsion at a third of the span and hold the girt line straight; metal siding on outside flange attached every 12 inches c/c.

Pressure wf = 1.4 x 14.6 psf x 5.0 ft. = 102 plfSuction wf = 1.4 x 12.5 psf x 5.0 ft. = 88 plfMf

+ = 0.102 kip/ft. x (25 ft.)2 / 8 = 8.0 kip•ft.Mf

- = 0.088 kip/ft. x (25 ft.)2 / 8 = 6.9 kip•ft.Vf = 0.102 kip/ft. x 25 ft./2 = 1.28 kipImin (deflection < span / 180) = 180 x 5 x 0.073 kip/ft. x (25 ft.)3 x 144

384 x 29,500 ksi= 13.0 in.4

The Properties table lists many profiles with a value of Ix greater than Imin:

800Z300-86 Ix = 13.8 in.4900Z300-71 Ix = 15.3 in.41000Z300-71 Ix = 19.6 in.4

The table also indicates that the strength of these threeprofiles:Mu with 8 ft. 4 in. of unsupported compression flange > Mf

+

Mu with 8 ft. 4 in. of unsupported compression flange > Mf-

The X bracings must be connected to the section according to standard S136-07 as described in the section entitledLateral Stability of Purlins (see pages 7-12).

Vr > Vf

Pr > Vf

The final selection will be determined according to the other bays of the building and the desired economy in steel or space.
