Introduction to Structural Design CIVL 2340 Assignment 2 1. The truss shown in Figure 1 supports a non-trafficable roof. The sheeting and the purlins have an equivalent mass of 11 kg/m? of sloping roof. The trusses are spaced at 5m intervals and have a mass of 1500 kg, with the centroid located as in figure 1 The live load is (1.8/A + 0.12) kPa with a minimum of 0.25 kPa. A is the horizontal area of roof (m”) supported by the member being designed. The design wind speed is 45 mis For cross wind 1, the external pressure coefficients (C,.) on the windward slope vary from -0.9 to -0.4 within 12.5m horizontal distance from the windward edge of the roof, and -0.5 to 0.0 between 12.5m and 20m horizontal distance from the windward edge of the roof. On the leeward slope, the coefficient is -0.75 For cross wind 2, the external pressure coefficients on the windward slope vary from 0.2 to 0.4, while on the leeward slope, the coefficients vary from -0.9 to -0.4 within 12.5m horizontal distance from the windward edge of the roof, and -0.5 to 0.0 between 12.5m and 25m horizontal distance from the windward edge of the roof. For the along wind, external pressure coefficients vary from -0.9 to -0.4 ‘The internal pressure coefficients (C),) for the cross winds vary from -0.3 to 0.6. The internal pressure coefficients for the along wind vary from -0.3 to 0.0. ‘Assume conservatively that the Area Reduction Factor, Ka, and the Combination Factor, Ke, equal 1.0. The cladding is impermeable, so the Permeable Cladding Reduction Factor, Kp = 1.0. Calculate the design reactions R,*, Ra*, Rs* for a truss (maximum positive and negative values) —> Crosswind 1 Crosswind 2 a7 a x 151 a russ Cenoid tii Figure 1 i R*2.

The site is in terrain category 2, the countryside is flat and there is no shielding of the building. The orientation of the building is assumed unknown, ‘The sidewall cladding is supported on girts at 1200mm spacing. ‘The following information is obtained from AS1170.2 2002. ‘© Regional Wind Speed in Region B: Vz = 60 m/s © Terrain and structure height multipliers Height (2) Multiplier Me.cay (m) for Terrain Category 2 <3 091 5 0.91 10 1,00 15 1.05 © Vsius = Vr Ma (Mezcaty Ms Mo) © p=(0.5 pair) [Vaeso]” Cig Cay * Average pressure coefficients Crosswind 1 (i) Windward wall Gi) Leeward (iii) Internal 0.8 (wind speed varies with height) 0.5 03 100.6 Crosswind 2 (i) Windward wall Cp __0.8 (wind speed varies with height) (ii) Leeward Cog 0.5 (iii) Internal Cag -0.3 100.0 Along wind (i) Side wall Clg -0.65 (ii) Internal Cfig -0.3 to 0.0(a) Calculate Va.yo for cross wind and longitudinal wind for the strength limit state (b) For the strength limit state, calculate the design loads in KN/m on sidewall girts from both sides of the building (inward and outward). Ignore any local pressure effects (©) You are inspecting the fixing of the roof cladding after completion of the construction and are standing on the cladding midway between two purlins, about halfway up one of the slopes and midway between two frames, Describe very clearly how your weight is transferred through the structural system and down to the ground (use diagrams to assist your description if you wish),
