Week 10 Challenge
1. Given data
Rafter span = 50 m
Bay spacing = 8 m
Roof slope = 1 in 10
Height of column = 12 m
Brick wall height = 2 m
Purlin spacing = 1.2 m
Girt spacing = 1.5 m
Number of purlins = Rafter span/purlin spacing
= 50/1.2
= 41.67 = 42 purlins
Number of girts = height of column-brick wall height/girt spacing
= 12-2/1.5
=6.67= 7 girts
2.

3. plan dimension 10m x 5m
Building is situated in Chennai
wall opening is 15 %
Bay spacing = 2.5m.
Code used IS 875 Part 3 :2015
Vz= Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4
Vz= 50*1.08*1.05*1.36*1.15
K1 = 1.08 (Assumed as importnat building)
K2= 1.05(Exposed open terrail with no obstructins)
K3= 1.36 (More than 3 degree slope)
K4= 1.15(For industrial structures)
Vz= 88.67m/sec
Wind pressure(Pz) = 0.6*Vz^2
=0.6*88.67^2
=4717.42N/sq.meter
= 4.71KN/sq.meter
0.7Pz<Pd
Pd=Kd*Ka*Kc*Pz
= 0.9*0.8*0.9*4.717
=3.25kn/sq.meter
0.7*4.71 =3.2
3.2<3.25 safe
