Design of Roof
1) Acording to (3.10.2) the minimum thickness of roof plate is 5mm
Take it 6mm
2) Roof structure design:
To use 33 IPE200 this means each member will carry the following:
Dead weight: 200 Kg
Roof plate weight : 300 Kg
Live weight :300 Kg
Total
:900 Kg
Z= M/f =800x393.75/1650 =190.9 cm3
from steel table we will find :
Zy=194.3 cm3
 IPE 200 is safe
