Abstract
Presented in this paper are the design considerations of purlins which support standing seam roofs. To properly design purlins attached to standing seam roofs the AISI Base Test must be conducted. The AISI anchorage equations can be used for standing seam systems provided that it can be shown that the standing seam diaphragm system has sufficient stiffness to meet the requirements of the diaphragm as specified in Section D3.2.1 of the AISI Specification. The stiffness of standing seam roofs can be determined from conventional diaphragm tests. The stiffness and strength of the standing seam diaphragm can be enhanced by the inclusion of the eave member in the diaphragm test; however, unless properly included an over estimation of the diaphragm strength and stiffness may occur.

Stability of Standing Seam Roof - Purlin Systems
Presented in this paper are the design considerations of purlins which support standing seam roofs. To properly design purlins attached to standing seam roofs the AISI Base Test must be conducted. The AISI anchorage equations can be used for standing seam systems provided that it can be shown that the standing seam diaphragm system has sufficient stiffness to meet the requirements of the diaphragm as specified in Section D3.2.1 of the AISI Specification. The stiffness of standing seam roofs can be determined from conventional diaphragm tests. The stiffness and strength of the standing seam diaphragm can be enhanced by the inclusion of the eave member in the diaphragm test; however, unless properly included an over estimation of the diaphragm strength and stiffness may occur.
