Design of high pitch (12:8 slope) light gage metal roof structure
Design of high pitch (12:8 slope) light gage metal roof structure
(OP)
My area (TX) has no seismic, but 90 mph wind area.
Light gage framing building, usually built as a pre-engineered building, requires engineering design this time.
Gable frames (25' span) and Z or C purlins will be used, but because of the roof slope, those purlins may require special bracing details due to eccentricity.
I looked up lots of metal companies, but couldn't find good product company and property table of their product.
Any recommendation for product company with design value table?
Thank you,

What are the other sides? Winds will come from all 4 (8 ?) directions. What happens when it is end-on, or from the back of the building where other rotations or whirls will start tearing off sheetmetal?
