Design of purlin sizes is based on an analysis of bending members as a simple beam.
The length of the purlin from truss to the truss is taken as the span length needed for the single span, simply supported beam formula.
This is a conservative approach as it provides for a large moment than that obtained by true engineering analysis
This excel sheet provides the design of c purlin.
