Table 4B.30: Maximum clear span of purlins supporting rafters for roof pitch 30° to 45°
This table provides maximum clear spans in metres for timber purlins of various sizes and design spacings, supporting rafters on roofs pitched between 30° and 45° with an imposed load of 0.75 kN/m² and timber strength class C24. Dead loads exclude the purlin's self-weight.
Table 4B.30 Maximum clear span of purlins supporting rafters (m); Roof pitch more than 30° but not more than 45°; Imposed load of 0.75 kN/m²; Timber strength class C24 C24
Dead Load [kN/m²] excluding the self weight of the purlin
Size of purlin (mm): Dead load not more than 0.50 / More than 0.50 but not more than 0.75 / More than 0.75 but not more than 1.00
Design spacing of purlins (mm): 1500, 1800, 2100, 2400, 2700, 3000 for each dead load category
