Secondary members are load-carrying members suitable to ensure the stability of the building against forces from all directions. These primarily include Purlins and Girts, Eave Struts, Rod Bracing and Open Steel Web joists.
Purlins, Girts and Eave Struts are secondary structural members used to support the wall and roof panels. Purlins are used on the roof; Girts are used on the walls and Eave Struts are used at the intersection of the sidewall and the roof.
Secondary members have two functions : they act as struts that help in resisting part of the longitudinal loads that are applied on the building such as wind and earthquake loads and they provide lateral bracing to the compression flanges of the main frame members thereby increasing frame capacity.

Purlins and Girts are structural members made up of cold formed steel Z & C sections that are supported on columns, rafters or building walls. They can be lapped and nested at the supports, to create a continuous beam configuration. They are placed under the roof, wall and the perimeter of the building and serve as supports to the roof sheeting and wall cladding.
The Phenix Edge
Eave Struts are typically constructed from cold formed 'C' sections and are rolled to suit the roof slope. Their primary function is to support the gutters and also to act as a junction of the roof and the wall cladding.
The Phenix Edge
These are long span, load-carrying members suitable for direct support of the floors and roof decks in buildings.
The Phenix Edge
This member is designed to ensure the stability of the building against forces in the longitudinal direction due to wind, cranes and earthquakes.
