a) See Appendix A and Appendix B for weights of roofing, sheathing, and subpurlins
Assume Douglas-Fir/Larch (G = 0.5) at 12% m.c for 4x14 purlin and 6.75x33 glulam
girder Using density formula from NDS Supplement:
1 + G(0.009)(m.c.) 100 [Note that 33 lb/ft3
is a reasonable (and typically conservative) estimate of unit weight for most softwood species of lumber and glulam A unit weight of 33 lb/ft3 was used to develop the
“Equivalent Uniform Weights of Wood Framing” in Appendix A of the textbook.]
To determine self- weight (s.w.) of purlin or girder, converted to distributed load in units
of psf: distributed s.w = (density)(cross-sectional area)/(width of tributary area)
