 CALCULATION OF WIND LOAD IS CODE 875(PART 3) 1987

1 Given data
Span of roof truss = 15 m
Half length of roof truss= 7.5 m
Spacing of truss = 4 m c/c
Rise(Height) of truss = 3m
Height of truss above ground level= 20 m
Total number of pannels= 8 nos.

2 Preliminary calculation =
A. Angle of roof truss (α)=
tanα= 0.53
α= 21.8
B. Length of principal rafter= 8.08 m

C. Half plan area= 30 m2

D. Half slope area= 32.31 m2

3 Dead load calculation IS CODE 875(PART 1) 1987

a Weight of roofing material
For ACC sheet@ 150 N/m2 (on slope area)
Weight of roofing material = 4846.65 N

b Weight of purlin =
weight of purlin = 120 N/m2 (on plan area)
weight of purlin = 3600 N

c Self weight of roof truss

Self weight = 10(span/3+5) N/m2 (equation should be remembered)
100 N/m2 (on plan area)
Self weight = 3000 N

d Weight of wind bracing= 12 N/m2 (on plan area)

360 N

e Total Deadload = 11806.65 N

FPP on one side of truss = 4 nos.
DL per pannel point= 2951.66 N
