Hello Engineering Community,
A mechanical engineer on our team asked me about the possibility of placing a 600 Ib RTU on the roof of a prefab metal building. I'm not sure what the reinforcement of the Z-purlins would look like, but given the structural inadequacy of the Z's, I'm hesitant to put such a unit on the roof. If any of you have had an opportunity to encounter such an engineering problem and come up with a solution, I would appreciation if you could share. Thanks!
