Reg: Forces Sharing inbetw lapped purlins through Flanges
(OP)
cold-Formed Zee purlins lap connection, we have bolting on webs only.
However, one of consultant raising the issue states that “When we achieve the continuous action there is a moment sharing between flanges and webs, but shows connection by bolts for purlins at web only” then how flange forces sharing to the adjacent lapped purlins.
Consultant requesting for Justification or supporting documents/Codes for the above issue.
Can anybody guide us.

Hokie, good to see you back posting.

Vijay is talking about nested lapped splices, where there is no actual moment connection. The bolts through the web at the ends of the splice are in shear to deliver forces to the ends of the respective cantilevers.

If the joists do not need the continuity to increase the span length, though, why worry about it?

Seems to me that the force couple on the web bolts do exactly that.
