Design of Top Chord Main Truss

The document summarizes the design considerations and calculations for the top chord of a main truss. It outlines the materials used, design loads from the roofing and purlins, and performs calculations to determine the required cross-sectional dimensions and check stresses. A trial area of 150 mm x 400 mm is adopted for the top chord after checking that stresses are below allowable values.

DESIGN OF TOP CHORD

MAIN TRUSS

WEIGHT OF ROOFI

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:
Kind of Wood = Yakal
Weight of Wood: = 7.46 kN/m3
Allowable bending stress = 19.3 Mpa WEIGHT OF LIVE L
Allowable shearing stress = 1.96 Mpa
Wind Velocity = 200 Kph
Maximum Design Stress = 586.6 kN
From design of Purlins:
Size of Purlins = 100mm x 150mm
Spacing of Purlins = 0.8817 m
Spacing of Truss = 2.375 m
Weight of Roofing = 1.199 kPa
Live Load = 1.44 kPa
Layer Length = 7.816
MOMENT
Fa = Fb (1-L/60D) if L/d > 15
Fa = 0.75 Fb if L/d < 15

NUMBER OF PURLINS TRIAL AREA

Layer Length = 7.816 m


Number of Purlins = layer length / spacing of purlins

WEIGHT OF PURLINS

Wt = size of purlins x spacing of truss x weight of wood
