Experimental Determination of Required Lateral Restraint Forces for Z-Purlin Supported, Sloped Metal Roof Systems
… restraint forces in Z-purlin supported, sloped metal roof systems under gravity loads. A proposed prediction equation, relying heavily on engineering principles, has been developed because the current provisions in the specification are empirical and based on statistical analysis. The provisions …

Cold-Formed Steel Behavior: Elastic Buckling Simplified Methods for Structural Members with Edge-Stiffened Holes and Purlin Distortional Buckling Strength Under Gravity Loading
… top flange beyond the resistance of the steel roofing panel. This research describes an experimental study to explore and quantify the difference in distortional buckling flexural capacity of metal building Z-purlins treated as isolated components and Z-purlins loaded with a constant pressure …

Further Study of the Gravity Loading Base Test Method
… moment strength of gravity loaded standing seam metal roof systems is the "Base Test Method". The Base Test Method provides a means for determining the positive moment strength of a multiple span, multiple purlin line standing seam roof system using the results from a set of six single span, …

Investigation of Single Span Z-Section Purlins Supporting Standing Seam Roof Systems Considering Distortional Buckling
… cold-formed purlins supporting a standing seam metal roof system is the 1996 AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, which contains provisions for local and lateral buckling. Previous research has determined that the AISI provisions for local buckling strength …

Estimation of Required Restraint Forces in Z-Purlin Supported, Sloped Roofs Under Gravity Loads
… lateral restraint forces in Z-purlin supported roof systems under gravity loads are in Section D3.1 of the 1996 AISI Cold-Formed Specification. The design equations contained in these provisions are empirical and based on statistical analysis. They were developed using elastic stiffness models …
