Steps of Industrial roof truss design:

◦  Steps
◦ o Purlin design
◦ o Sag rod design
◦ o Truss member design
◦ o Bracing system design
◦ o Connection design
◦ o Baseplate design
◦ o Anchorage & support design
◦ o Detailing
 Truss Diagram

10 feet Height

Span = 40+2=42 feet

Span/ rise = 42/ 10 = 4.2 <6 so non sub divided truss
Truss type: Pratt Truss
Load Calculation
Wind Force Analysis
Purlin Section Design
 Sag rod design:

◦F =
◦Assuming diameter of sag rod = 3/8 in

◦Effective X- sectional area of sag rod=

◦ASD capacity of the sag rod =

◦Or
◦Allowable tensile stress =
◦Stress in sag rod = 0.14/ 0.077= 1.82 ksi<< 21.55 ksi

◦So 3/8 inch rod is sufficient
