Estimate of Deadloads for Standardised Designs DEADLOAD ESTIMATES The Basic foundation of limit state strength design is a 5% probability of failure. With respect to deadload, failure has two modes: 1) Deadload below estimate and resistance required not achieved 2) Deadload in excess of estimate and overload results To account for the variation in dimensions and densities away from the nominal values used in design AS1170:2002 uses partial load factors. 1) 0.9 for reduction of resisting deadload 2) 1.2 for loading or aggrevating dead weight These values have supposedly been determined by statistical analysis of the variations in a variety of construction materials used such that 5% percentile => 5% probability that 0.9G not reached 95% percentile => 5% probability that 1.2G exceeded The timber framing code AS1684:1999 uses standardised roof masses for production of its supplementary framing tables it is using: 1) 0.8 for reduction of resisting deadload 2) 1.25 for loading or aggrevating dead weight from the previous version of AS1170. {The 2006 version of AS1684 may well have adjusted these to the 2002 version of AS1170}

for the current situation roof cladding can change between lightweight polycarbonate sheeting or heavier steel sheeting also batten spacing can change, along with rafter spacing. Also at initial stage of design frame self weight is unknown. Cladding weight Steel Profiles Custom orb Custom Blue Orb Integrity Integrity 890 Klip-Lok 406

spacing of battens varies depending on cladding internal and end spans and the over all span of the canopy Frame weight (Rafters) density = 550 kg/m spacing = 1200 mm Area mass mm kg/m kg/m kPa mean 2.793 kg/m 90 x 35 3150 1.73 1.44 0.01 std. dev 0.925 120x35 4200 2.31 1.93 0.02 5% percentile 1.27 120x45 5400 2.97 2.48 0.02 95% percentile 4.31 140x45 6300 3.47 2.89 0.03 190x35 6650 3.66 3.05 0.03 190x45 8550 4.70 3.92 0.04 240x35 8400 4.62 3.85 0.04 Total Frame Weight Lower Limit 3.19 kg/m Upper Limit 13.92 kg/m adjusted to allow for partial load factors 0.03 kPa 0.11 kPa Therefore standardised roof mass mostly over estimates resistance and slightly under estimates loading. (eg.0.11>0.1kPa) Therefore produce additional design curves for alternative deadloading and assess variation to member sizes. schGableCanopyTimber.xls
