Roof Uplift
Roof Uplift
(OP)
We have a small uplift load. Is anyone aware of literature that permits the deck to help with lateral stability of steel purlins? An Lu of 26 feet is a bit excessive. Can staggering the roof puddle welds provide a 'little' flexural resistance to assist with lateral support?

Willis, can you provide a link to that paper? Being able to use a Cb of 2.0 would help.

I don't have a link to it. Best I can do for now is link you to AISC's steel design after college slides: htt
(Warning this takes forever to download). It is presented on PDF page 29 (slide 49) and discussed before that.
As stated before it will also show up in the Commentary to Chapter F in 2010.
