Please explain each step properly and answer both a) and b), including the drawing of purlin:
For the structure shown below, the roof is made of a material with a surface density of 12.5kgm2, there is a
snow load with an intensity of 2.0kNm2, and the distance =6m. The purlins have a cross-sectional area
of 50mm2 and are made from a steel with a density of 7850kgm3 find the following:
a) The total uniformly distributed roof load
carried by each purlin along their entire length
(show a drawing of typical purlin with the
distributed load).
b) The concentrated loads transmitted from the
purlins to the truss joints (show one truss with
the loads).
Note: All the purlins are parallel to the
columns (completely vertical with no
inclination).
