Roof Framing:

Dead Loads:

Steel deck = 3 psf

Standing metal seam = 2 psf
Insulation = 2 psf
Mechanical, ….etc. = 8 psf

Snow Load = 30 psf

Trusses are spaced at 24’-8”

Two auxiliary trusses will be used between the trusses. Spacing will be around 8.2 ft

Steel Roof Deck

Total design load = 15+30=45 psf

Span = 8.2 ft O.C.
Using the epicore ER3.5 gage 20 with more than three spans
Allowable load > 84 psf ( see attached table)
Auxiliary Trusses:
Spacing = 8.2 ft
DL = 15x8.2=123 lb/ft
Snow Load = 30x8.2=246 lb/ft
Using a Vulcraft 28LH06
Allowable TL = 448 lb/ft
Allowable LL (L/180)=578 lb/ft
Allowable TL controls
Allowable LL = 448-123=325 lb/ft>246 lb/ft OK
Design of Roof Girder

Roof girder spans between ridge of trusses ( see drawing)
