    PEMB Zee and Cee Purlins

    GC_Hopi - Those anti-roll clips only handle the weak axis load once it's been carried out to the rafters along the length of the purlins. It doesn't help the purlins along their length at all. As for the braces at a tight spacing along the eave, those only do any good if your eave beam is stiff...

    I'm trying to wrap my head around the design of light gauge Zee and Cee purlins in pre-engineered metal building design. I have the metal building systems book by Alexander Newman as well as the AISI manual and spec (newest edition of spec and the 2008 edition of the manual). Here's the set-up...

    PEMB Shear Breakout

    Currently designing a pier foundation for a PEMB building, and am trying to wrap my head around best practices for shear transfer between the anchor bolts and the pier. The column I'm looking at has 97k (ult) of compression alongside its worst case shear of 37 k (ult). After looking through a...
