ROOF TRUSS ANALYSIS

Design Criteria
Wind Load (NSCP, Zone II) = 2,100.00 Pa = 30 psf Steel Capacity, Fy = 276.00 MPa
Height = 0.60 m = 1.97 ft Modulus of Elasticity, E = 200,000.00 MPa
Length of truss = 4.18 m = 13.70 ft Cc = 119.60
Wall Opening = 100.00 % length of member = 1,044.00 mm
Bay Length = 1.31 m = 4.31 ft
Inclined surface = 4.22 m = 13.84 ft Using 1/4" x 2" x 2" Angle Bar:
2
Length between members = 1.04 = 3.42 ft Area of member 456.00 mm
width of member = 50.00 mm
Analysis: thickness of member = 6.00 mm
By Dutchemin Formula: Radius of Gyration, r = 22.500 mm
Normal Wind Pressure = 18.30 psf Slenderness Ratio = 46.40 mm
Tributary Area = 14.75 sq. ft. Lateral Pressure = 3.54 KN
Wind Load = 3.04 KN
By ASCE Recommendation:
α = 16.03 degrees For Compression Member
External Force, Wind ward = (4.19) lbs Allowable Stress, Fa = 654.38 MPa
External Force, Lee ward = 9.00 lbs Allowable Load, La = 298.40 KN
Internal Force (pressure) = 29.50 lbs La>Lp safe
Internal Force (suction) = 19.50 lbs
thus, Wind Panel Load
Windward side pressure = (496.84) lbs
Leeward side pressure = (567.77) lbs For Tension Member
Windward side suction = 225.78 lbs Allowable Stress, Ft = 165.60 Mpa
Leeward side suction = 154.85 lbs Allowable Load, La = 172.89 KN
Windward = (271.06) lbs La>Lp safe
Leeward = (412.92) lbs
Use Wind panel load of = 683.99 lbs
= 3.04 KN
By summing up moments:
Column Reaction 12.34 KN
Lateral Pressure 3.54 KN

Therefore:
Use 1- 1/4" x 2" x 2" angle bar for top and bottom chord
Use 1 - 1/4" x 1" x 1" angle bar for web members
