Assumption:
- 3m tributary width (for beam)
- 6m tributary width (others)
- non-composite section
- Mu = 1/8 qu L2 (beams)
- Mu = 1/10 qu L2 (girder, rafter)
- Mu = 1/2 qu L2 (cantilever, canopy)
- fully braced laterally (no LTB)
- brickwall 2.5 kPa at 3m height
- BJ 37, Fy 240 MPa

Note:
Please check for compact section qualification to satisfy ductility requirements according to prescribed structural system
