Roof Load Calculation for Dual Slope Truss

Pitch Height of Truss (P ) = 1.00 m

Span of Structure (W) = 7.00 m
Length of Structure (L) = 36.50 m
Height of Structure (H) = 6.50 m (Evan Level)
Span of Truss (W) = 7.00 m
Assuming Opening = <= 5% IS:875 (Part 3)-2015: Cl.6.2.3
Spacing of Purlin = 0.50 m
H/W= 0.93
Slope= 15.95⁰

1. Dead Load Calculation -Weight of Roof Covering

(Corrugated G.I. Sheet)
Roofing Load= 0.10 KN/m2
Roofing Load per meter at End Purlin = 0.03 KN/m
Roofing Load per meter at Rest Purlin = 0.05 KN/m

2. Live Load (As Per IS:875 (Part-2)-2015 : Table 2)

Access is not provided on solping roof
For slope up to 10⁰ = 0.75 KN/m2
For Slope 15.95⁰ = 0.63 KN/m2
Live Load per meter at End Purlin = 0.16 KN/m
Live Load per meter at Rest Purlin = 0.32 KN/m

3. Wind Load
F = (Cpe - Cpi) x A x Pd
where,
Cpe ,Cpi = force coefficient for exterior and interior of the
building. As per IS Code 975: Vol(iii)
A = Effective area of the structure
Pz = Wind pressure at height z = 0.6 Vz2
Vz = design wind speed (m/s) at any height z above ground
= K1 x K 2 x K 3 x K 4 x V b
Vb = basic wind speed at any location
K1 = probability factor or risk factor
K2 = terrain, height, structure size factor
K3 = topography factor 1 for upward slope <3⁰
K4 = importance factor for cyclone region (1 for non cyclone region)
Pd = Design wind pressure = Pz x Kd x Ka x Kc
Kd = wind directional factor
Ka = area averaging factor
Kc = combination factor
Character of Structure
i. Type of slope and Building
Access is not provided on sloping roof.
ii. Terrain Categories = 3
Terran with numerious closely spaced large and high obstruction.
iii. Building/ Structure Class= A
Structure and/ or their components such as cladding, glazing, roofing etc. having maximum
dimension (greatest) horizontal or vertical dimension less than 20m.

Basic Wind Speed (Vb) = 47.00 m/sec

K1 = 1 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Table 1
K2 = 0.91 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Table 2
K3 = 1 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.5.3.3.1
Vz = K 1 x K 2 x K 2 x Vb = 42.77 m/sec

Wind Pressure (Pz)= 0.6Vz2 = 1097.57 N/m2

Kd = 0.9 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.7.2.1
Ka = 0.8 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.7.2.2
Kc = 0.9 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.7.3.3.13
Kd x K a x K c = 0.65 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.7.2 (not < 0.7)

Design Wind Pressure (Pd)= Pz x Kd x Ka x Kc 768.30 N/m2

A. Calculation of Wind Pressure (As per IS:975(Part3)-1937 : Table 5)

a. Wind Normal to ridge (q=0⁰)
Cpe H/W= 0.93
Wind ward (EF) -0.72
Lee ward (GH) -0.40
Cpi ± 0.20 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.6.2.3.1

F = (Cpe - Cpi) x A x Pd
Case-I: Wind Normal the Ridge (q=0⁰), with -ve Cpi
Wind ward Pressure = (-0.73 + 0.2) x 768.299 = -402.87 N/m2 UPWARD
Lee ward Pressure = (-0.4 + 0.2) x 768.299 = -153.66 N/m2 UPWARD

Case-II: Wind Normal the Ridge (q=0⁰), with +ve Cpi

Wind ward Pressure = (-0.73 - 0.2) x 768.299 = -710.19 N/m2 UPWARD
Lee ward Pressure = (-0.4 - 0.2) x 768.299 = -460.98 N/m2 UPWARD

b. Wind paralel to ridge (q=90⁰)

Cpe H/W= 0.93
Wind ward (EG) -0.74
Lee ward (FH) -0.60
Cpi ± 0.20 From IS:1875(Part3)-2015 : Cl.6.2.3.1

F = (Cpe - Cpi) x A x Pd
Case-III: Wind Parallel the Ridge (q=90⁰), with +ve Cpi
Wind ward Pressure = (-0.75 - 0.2) x 768.299 = -722.62 N/m2 UPWARD
Lee ward Pressure = (-0.6 - 0.2) x 768.299 = -614.64 N/m2 UPWARD

Case-IV: Wind Parallel the Ridge (q=90⁰), with -ve Cpi

Wind ward Pressure = (-0.75 + 0.2) x 768.299 = -415.30 N/m2 UPWARD
Lee ward Pressure = (-0.6 + 0.2) x 768.299 = -307.32 N/m2 UPWARD
