PONDING CONSIDERATIONS IN BUILDINGS

PONDING CONSIDERATIONS IN BUILDINGS

 


Flat roofs on which water may accumulate may require analysis to ensure that they are stable under ponding conditions. A flat roof may be considered stable and an analysis does not need to be made if both of the following two equations are satisfied:
C p + 0.9 C s £ 0.25
I d ³ 25S 4 / 10 6
Where C p = 32 L s L 4 p / 10 7 I p
C s = 32 SL 4 s / 10 7 s
L p = length, ft (m), of primary member or girder
L s = length, ft (m), of secondary member or purlin
S = spacing, ft (m), of secondary members
I p = moment of inertia of primary member, in 4
(mm 4 )
I s = moment of inertia of secondary member, in 4
(mm 4 )
I d = moment of inertia of steel deck supported on secondary members, in 4 /ft (mm 4 /m)
For trusses and other open-web members, I s should be decreased 15 percent. The total bending stress due to dead loads, gravity live loads, and ponding should not exceed 0.80F y , where F y is the minimum specified yield stress for the steel.

  2. Hi! Nice post!!Thanks for sharing it with us....really needed. EXPANDO is an expansive mortar chemical that cracks rocks and concrete. It is a concrete cutting, granite breaking and general demolition . Expando is an environmentally friendly, safe thing that allows you to reduce labour and equipment breakage risks and costs, improve site logistics and minimise safety, noise, dust and toxic pollution of the site.Non Explosive Cracking Agent
