INTRODUCTION
Purlins and girts are complementary products to structural steel and used primarily in the walls and roof of a building.
All purlins and girts are cold-formed using high-performance steel in order to minimize weight while maximizing capacity.
As with all Canam Canada products, our purlins and girts meet strict quality standards.
Canam Canada fabricates a complete range of C and Z sections for use as purlins and girts at its plant in Boucherville,
Quebec. The nominal depth of these sections varies from 6 inches (152 mm) to 14 inches (356 mm).

STANDING SEAM ROOF

The use of a standing seam roof does not preclude the need
for adequate purlin bracing. The roof structure can only
provide partial lateral stability and supplies no torsional
stability whatsoever for Z or C sections. Discrete bracing
should therefore be incorporated in the design phase in
order to control torsionalflexural buckling.

ANCHORAGE OF PURLIN BRACING (ANTI-ROLL SAFEGUARD)

If no discrete bracing line is used, anchorage is required at each purlin support, which must be designed to resist in-plane
forces. In certain instances, anti-roll clips may also be necessary.

If one or more discrete bracing lines are used between purlin supports, the supports must be designed to resist in-plane
forces as explained in the paragraph above. Substantial anchorage is required for the discrete bracing line at each eave and
ridge end. The applied load on each line can be calculated according to standard S136.

Example:
Single span of Lx = 6,000 mm with a 1,100 mm spacing between Z sections.

There are 9 sections (7 spaces of 1,100 mm) per building slope with a roof pitch of 41.67 in 250 mm (angle of a = 9.46 degrees).
The sloped length of one side is 8,000 mm with 300 mm between the ridge and the last section.
Loads: Dead load (dl) of 1.0 kPa

Snow load (sl) = 2.4 kPa
Gross wind load in pressure (wp) = 0.6 kPa and 1.2 kPa of wind uplift (wu)
STEP 1: CALCULATION OF Z SECTION WN AND WT LOADS FOR EACH LOAD
}
wn dl = dl cos (a) Spacing = 1.09 kN/m wn
wn sl = sl [cos (a)]2 Spacing = 2.57 kN/m
wn wp = wp Spacing = 0.66 kN/m
wn wu = wu Spacing = 1.32 kN/m
}
wt dl = dl sin (a) Spacing = 0.18 kN/m
wt
wt sl = sl [sin (a)]2 Spacing = 0.07 kN/m
STEP 2: LOAD COMBINATIONS ACCORDING TO THE 2005 NATIONAL BUILDING CODE

Gravity: the greater of: 1.25 wn dl + 1.5 wn sl + 0.4 wn wp = 5.48 kN/m control
1.25 wn dl + 0.5 wn sl + 1.4 wn wp = 3.57 kN/m
total wn = 5.48 kN/m
total wt = 0.33 kN/m
Uplift: 0.90 wn dl 1.4 wn wu = 0.87 kN/m
10
STEP 3: CALCULATION OF LOADS ACCORDING TO WT AND WN
Single span: Mf x = total wn Lx2 / 8 = 24.66 kNm

Mf y = total wt Lt2 / 8 = 0.37 kNm
Where: Lt is the maximum distance between supports where discrete bracings are found.
Assumption: According to the Canam table, one row of local lateral restraints at regular intervals,
therefore, Lt = 3,000 mm.
Vf = total Wn Lx / 2 = 16.44 kN
Mf uplift = uplift Lx2 / 8 = 3.92 kNm
STEP 4: PRELIMINARY CHOICE OF A SECTION

Choice: new nomenclature: 305Z76-326M; former nomenclature: Z305x14
Assumption: the roof deck only partially maintains the compression flange on the Z section with a standing
seam roof. Connections every 610 mm c/c provide only partial lateral support.
Calculation of the moment under gravity loads

Value of the Canam table (Mu) for Lt = 3,000 mm = 26.5 kNm
Mrx = Mu
Mry = 0.9 Sy Fy = 6.77 kNm
where Sy = 21.8 x 103 mm3 and Fy = 345 MPa according to the Canam table
Interaction equations
Mfx / Mrx + Mfy / Mry = 0.99 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE
Calculation of the moment under uplift loads

Mr uplift = Value of the Canam table (Mu for Lt = 3,000 mm) = 26.5 kNm
Note: local lateral restraints can be used for uplift.
Mf uplift / Mr uplift = 0.15 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE
Calculation of shear (worst case scenario is shear near the support)

Vr = Value of the Canam table (Vr) = 92.90 kN
Vf / Vr = 0.18 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE
Calculation of web crippling with 100 mm of bearing

Pr = Value of the Canam table (Pr) = 24.80 kN
Pr reduced because of the pitch = Pr [sin (90a)]2 = 24.13 kN
Vf / Pr reduced = 0.68 <= 1 ACCEPTABLE
Reinforcement between the bearing and
the support in the sections web is therefore
not required in this step.
Calculation of deflection
Imin (deflection < span / 180) = 180 x 5 x (wn sl + wn wp) x Lx3 / (384 x 200,000 MPa) = 8.173 x 106 mm.
The Ix inertia of section 305Z76-326M according to the catalog is 22 x 106 mm4 greater than the minimum inertia.
Section 305Z76-326M (Z305x14) is acceptable.
11
STEP 5: DESIGN OF THE ROW OF BRACING MEMBERS AND THE RIDGE CONNECTION
According to the information in table 1 on page 13, the factored vertical load of a 6,000 mm purlin with a 2/12 pitch and a
bracing line is 0.367/section/1.0 kN/m.
The axial load of 8 sloped sections with a factored vertical load of 5.48 kN/m is:
0.367 x 8 purlins per slope x 5.48 kN/m = 16.1 kN factored/bracing line.
The local lateral restraint must be sized from top to bottom to transfer this load. In our example, the pitch is 2/12, the
lateral restraint could be an angle welded from top to bottom with a cross bridging weld every 3 spaces from top to bottom.
Other types of lateral restraint can also be used (see the beginning of the present section).
In our example, the 16.1 kN load will be offset by the component connecting the Z section on each side of the ridge.
The sizing of this part must be designed to achieve 16.1 kN where the section will be attached.
STEP 6: DESIGN OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE PN EFFORT
The Pn effort per section in each top flange above the support is 2.01 kN, which is equivalent to 0.367 (as indicated in
table 1 on page 13) multiplied by 5.48 kN/m.
The moment developed in the section is equal to Pn x height of the section = Mf support = 2.01 kN x 305 mm =
613.05 kNmm.
Mr support = 0.9 x (Sx) x Fy = 0.9 x [(width at the bearing) x (thickness of the section)2 /4] x 0.350 = 186.07 kNmm
Where: width at the bearing = height of the section in mm.
Mf> Mr NOT ACCEPTABLE.

According to Step 4, an anti-roll clip must be installed between the web and the support. Two options are possible at this
stage: the use of either a stiffener or an angle of suitable thickness (see page 8 for examples of anti-roll stiffeners).
If an angle is used, it must have a minimum thickness of 8 mm by 200 mm wide and 200 mm high, which is equivalent to
Mr = 864 kNmm. The use of this option presumes that only the angle is connected to the support. The choice of a 75 mm
long by 200 mm high by 3 mm thick bearing stiffener would allow for a 200 mm wide by 200 mm high by 3 mm thick angle,
which is lighter.
General notes:
In the example above, the use of only one local lateral restraint slightly increases the weight of the Z section. However, the
second discrete bracing line could have a greater impact.
Consider the results with 2 rows:
2 discrete bracing lines with the same pitch: 254Z76-290M with a Pn = 0.167 of the table x 8 x 5.48 kN/m =
7.3 kN/bracing line.
Note that if no discrete bracing line had been used in this second example, it would not be considered acceptable even in
the presence of several sag rod lines and with the largest available section.
The choice of conventional steel deck instead of a standing seam roof is slightly conservative for a sloped roof when the
tables in the present catalog are used.

Pn = load coefficient per section for 1 kN/m of factored vertical load per discrete bracing line.
Axial load in a bracing line (kN) = number of sections per slope x the Pn value indicated in the table x factored vertical load
in kN/m.

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS METRIC

Snow load = 2.4 kPa

Single span of Lx = 6,000 mm with a 1,100 mm spacing between Z sections.

Loads: Dead load (dl) of 1.0 kPa

STEP 1: CALCULATION OF Z SECTION WN AND WT LOADS FOR EACH LOAD

STEP 2: LOAD COMBINATIONS ACCORDING TO THE 2005 NATIONAL BUILDING CODE

Uplift: 0.90 wn dl 1.4 wn wu = 0.87 kN/m

STEP 3: CALCULATION OF LOADS ACCORDING TO WT AND WN

Single span: Mf x = total wn Lx2 / 8 = 24.66 kNm

STEP 4: PRELIMINARY CHOICE OF A SECTION

Calculation of the moment under gravity loads

Calculation of the moment under uplift loads

Calculation of shear (worst case scenario is shear near the support)

Calculation of web crippling with 100 mm of bearing

STEP 6: DESIGN OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE PN EFFORT
