MS_117 — Probabilistic modelling of the behaviour of timber in structures (1)

The purlins are made from solid structural timber, with strength class C24, feature a cross section of b × h = 100 × 200 mm2 and the distance between the axis of the purlins is chosen so that the utilization factor according to EC5 (2004) is in the range 0.9 < η < 1. The resulting distances between purlins are: a) 1 m, b) 1.2 m and c) 1.6 m.
