And I think he should be fine as long as he is not more than 6" below the bottom of the purlins, but then, I am a CEILING JET FREAK. Early this year Roland straightened out a concerned poster by mentioning the MOMENTUM of the ceiling jet- I thought 'ya, what Roland said', then I fire modeled some set-ups, and thought 'YA, WHAT ROLAND SAID'!

I think 9.2.4.2 (in the 07 ed) helps clarify what is meant by "bay" also. As far as Mike's original post goes, with 9 1/2" z-purlins, he should be fine as long as he's not more than 2 1/2" below the bottom of the purlins. --- On Tue, 10/26/10, Matthew J.

It is not defined in Chapter 3; however, there are several examples of "bay" throughout the standard. In particular note the figures showing typical calc areas. "Bay" as I understand it, is the area between the Frames that the purlin rest on. R/ Matt Matthew J.
