Design in light gauge Steel - PURLINS
(OP)
Hello everybody
I have not a real experence in designing Z or C purlins.
Anybody can show me a real good book with good examples of calculation.
I m designing a warehouse and to optimise sections I would like to use 4 mm C cold formed purling
Many thanks

As for C, we did a very big project using C purling 4 mm thickness.
Why we can't ! I m curious
Thanks again smb4050

Not that a C shape can't be used.
That is a double negative meaning they can be used, but they are not favored over Z sections because of nesting.
If C sections overlap at supports, they must be placed back to back. That way, the flanges are not aligned, making it more difficult to attach the deck.

There may be some manufacturers in North America who do the same thing, but I believe the more common method is to use the same flange width top and bottom and slope the return at the outer end of the flange at 45 degrees instead of 90.

I have this doc. I asked the manufatur to send me their freeware but i have to be australian.
Actually tables are useful and normally the manuf. Who give the calculation note. My case is that i m working in morocco and u have to do everything by yourself because of luck of good manuf.
I had a freeware from an english manuf i do not remember the name but not that easy to use , i mean u should learn it gentely the time to masterise it before using it correctely....
Sorry for mistakes
