Secondary Members / Cold Framed Members:

It refers to purlins, girts, eave struts, wind bracing, flange bracing, base angles, clips and other miscellaneous structural parts.

Secondary frame types in PEB:

Secondary frames are used to support the roof and wall panels in a PEB. They are typically made of cold-formed steel sections and are attached to the primary frame. The most common types of secondary frames in PEB are:

• Purlins: Purlins are horizontal members that support the roof panels. They are typically spaced at intervals of 1.2 to 1.8 meters.
• Girts: Girts are vertical members that support the wall panels. They are typically spaced at intervals of 1.2 to 1.8 meters.
• Eave struts: Eave struts are horizontal members that support the roof panels at the eaves of the building. They are typically attached to the primary frame and the girts.

Secondary frames also include other members such as wind bracing, flange braces, base angles, and clips. These members help to stiffen the frame and resist wind loads and other lateral forces.

Primary and secondary frames work together to create a strong and durable building envelope that can withstand the elements and protect the occupants and contents of the building.
