(OP)
Where can I find minimum section properties and allowable bending moment capacities for 8" Zee purlins with 2-1/2" flange and thickness of 9/64".
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

As Toad alluded to, if you know who made the purlin contact them.

You could also contact the MBMA (Metal Building Manufacturers Association) in Cleveland, OH.

Maybe your shape is specific to one manufacturer.

9/64" = 0.1406" = about 10Ga, not in table but you can work the properties from the sections shown.
Best is to specify the properties you require and let the fabricator supply that or better.

If you do obtain a manufacturers technical guide I would stay within the recommendations of their span tables. This will save you performing the calculations for cold-formed sections.
