Loading calculations
;;; Dead load on plan at collapse; gk = sum( gk1, gk2, gk3 ) = 0.45 kN/m2
;;; Frame centres; s = 6000 mm
Self weight of rafters; sw = 0.5 kN/m;
Rafter load per unit length (unfactored); w = gk s + sw = 3.2 kN/m
; Weight of wall supported; wwall = 1.5 kN/m
; Vertical reaction; VR = w L / 2 + wwall s = 49.2 kN
; Roof pitch (0 if flat roof); = 12.0 deg
; Length of haunch at eaves; Lh = 2500 mm
Distance between ends of haunches; G = L - 2 Lh = 20000 mm
Vertical height at end of haunch; Y = h + Lh sin() = 6520 mm
Ratio; L_upon_h = L / h = 4.17
From SCI P313 Table 2.2 (a).tbl; A = 0.76 ; C = 0.79
Multiplication factor; k = 1.0
; Horizontal reaction; HR1 = k ( w G A - C MpR / G ) = 36.9 kN
; HR2 = MpS /( 10 Y ) = 6.2 kN
HR = max( HR1, HR2 ) = 36.9 kN
Factor B; B = ( L2 - G2 ) / ( 8 G ) = 1406 mm
Overturning moment; Mx1 = k (w G Y (A + B/Y) - MpR (C Y/G - 0.065)) = 350.8 kNm
Mx2 = MpS / 10 = 40.5 kNm
Mx = max( Mx1, Mx2 ) = 350.8 kNm
