Panel Load Calculation for Roof Trusses

The document calculates the panel load on the top chord of a truss based on roofing accessories, bracing system, and truss loads over an area of 1.59m by 2m. It determines the total panel load is 6.50kN based on loads from roofing accessories of 3.816kN, bracing system of 2.544kN, and truss of 0.098kN. This total load of 6.50kN is then distributed evenly across the top chord.

PANEL LOAD ON TOP CHORD

1.59

TW = 2m

ROOFING ACCESSORIES (RA) = 1.20 kN/m (1.59m x 2m) = 3.816 kN


BRACING SYSTEM (BS) = 0.80 kN/m (1.59 x 2) = 2.544 kN

TRUSS (T) = 0.45 kN/m (1.59m)(2m) = 1.431 kN


= 1.431(1/2 LOAD FOR TC) (1/7.27)
= 0.098 kN

PANEL LOAD AT TC = RA + BS + T
= 3.816 + 2.544 + 0.098
= 6.458 kN
= 6.50 kN
