Example: Single span truss and post frame for a low pitch roof using battened section chords
This example deals with the design of a low pitch roof truss. The truss is part of the roof structure in a 72 m long single storey building and spans 30 m. The spacing of the trusses is 7,2 m and the roofing is an insulated steel sheeting on purlins. The building where the truss is situated is based on that shown in worked example SX016. In the Figure below, one frame from the building is shown.

The truss is symmetric about its centre. In the figure below a more detailed geometry of the truss is shown. The inclination of the upper chord of the truss is = 5. The roof is providing lateral restraint for the top chord, either by a wind bracing or by diaphragm action of corrugated sheeting in structural class I or II according to EN 1993-1-3.

The member forces are calculated under the assumption of pinned joints. This simplification is allowed when the compression chord is in cross section class 1. The calculations are performed by means of a computer, meaning that only the member forces will be shown here.

The buckling length, Lcr, should be taken as the system length for in plane EN 1993-1-1 buckling of the chords and for out of plane buckling of the web members. For Annex BB in plane buckling, a buckling length of 90% of the system length should be used for the web members. The buckling length for out of plane buckling of the upper chord should be taken as the distance between the purlins in this case.

Design of battened strut The upper chord is designed with battens with length 200 mm at a distance of a ~ 1,0 m, meaning that at every purlin position a batten is attached and two in between those positions. Purlins that work as lateral support are attached at every second joint, i.e. the out of plane buckling length is between two joints.

This lateral restraint depends on the stiffness of the purlins kp, the screws between purlins kc and upper chord and the web members kw. A Z250x2,0 section is used as purlins I z = 7,33 106 m4 h = 1,9 m lp = 7,2 m Stiffness, kp, for the purlins (height of truss in the most utilized section) (distance between trusses)

With the design according to the figure above the weld length on one side of the web member is l = 85 + 31 = 116 mm As the upper chord consists of two sections, the web member will be welded to both yielding a symmetric joint. The total length of the weld is

which is sufficient. The truss has two UPE 160 as upper chord, UPE 80 as the web members and two UPE 140 as lower chord.
