Hello,
I have this steel roof that rafter is levelled while purlins are at a 3 degree slope with up to 800mm higher than the rafer.
Now my question is in regard to the roof diaphragm. I don't think I can use the rakers that supports the purlins together with rafter to form a diaphragm since...
Thank you. I will go for option 2 then. Just wondering what to do with the bottom side of the steel beam after cutting the bottom flange and web? Do I weld a plate under to the remaining web? Any other stiffeners needed?
I have this 410 UB Roof Beam that is supported by the 150 concrete panel which stops at the mid-depth of the steel beam as shown below. Can anyone please give some advice on what connection I can use here? The design shear force is 60kN.
Thank you.
I have a tilt-up panel warehouse that is up to 10m high. Instead of using the roof as diaphragm only. I want to design the mezzanine level as diaphragm as well so that the roof takes lesser lateral loads for some reason. Similar to roof, mezzanine consists of Z/C joists and yellow tongue.
