I was wondering about that for a few days, (Excuse my question if it was kind of stupid or if I'm missing something).
Usually when I brace rafters with flange brace on a FEM, purlins fail due to compression buckling.
Since purlins would buckle easily,Shouldnt the connection of the flange brace or purlins connection to be always with slotted holes from one side to prevent tranfering its axial load to purlins?
Thanks in advance.
