What type of loads do flat roofs carry?
Think about the activities happening on the roof.
Which type of roof typically has lower imposed loads?
Consider the maintenance activities on sloping vs flat roofs.
What is the typical imposed load for flat roofs?
Consider the types of activities happening on flat roofs.
True or False: Wind loads on sloped roofs are generally uniform.
Think about how the angle of the roof affects wind interaction.
Design a sloping roof truss to support a maximum wind load of 2.5 kN/m². Identify critical factors in your design and safety margin.
Start with determining the truss type that fits your span and load before calculating member sizes.
Create a connection detail for a useful application involving a bolted connection in a roof truss considering both shear and tension forces.
Remember to factor in potential shear versus tension forces at each connection point.
