Chapter 2: TRUSS and ROOF TERMINOLOGY
Chapter 2: TRUSS AND ROOF TERMINOLOGY APEX: The highest point on a truss where the sloping top chords meet (Figures 3, 4 & 6). AXIAL FORCE: A push (compression) or pull (tension) acting along the length of a member. Usually measured in Newtons (N) or kiloNewtons (kN). (Figure 18) AXIAL STRESS: The axial force acting at a point along the length of a member, divided by the cross- sectional area of the member. Usually measured in MegaPascals (MPa) or Newtons per square millimeter (N/mm2). (Figure 18) BARGE BOARDS: Trim boards applied to gable ends of buildings. (Figure 2 & 10) BATTENS: Small-section timber members – usually 36x36 (See SANS 1783-4) spanning between trusses, connected to the top of the top chord of the truss and usually supporting a roof covering of tiles or slates (Figure 4). BATTEN CENTRES: The distance between centre lines of battens, measured along the slope of the top chord (Figure 8). BAY LENGTH: Also called PANEL LENGTH. In a truss this refers to the horizontal distance between the centres of joints or nodes in either the top or bottom chord. In a roof, it refers to the space between trusses, e.g. a single or double truss spacing where bracing occurs. (Figure 7 & 8) BRACED BAY: The space between 2 or more trusses in a roof section where bracing is positioned (Figure 2) BEAM: A solid or composite timber lintel that usually supports trusses or rafters. (Figure 11) BEAM POCKET: A void deliberately set into a wall to allow a beam, truss horn or floor truss to bear on the wall.

BRACING USING NZS 3604:2011 – PART 1 Providing Sufficient Bracing Capacity for Wind and Earthquake Is an Integral Part of the Design Process
DESIGN RIGHT BRACING USING NZS 3604:2011 – PART 1 Providing sufficient bracing capacity for wind and earthquake is an integral part of the design process. This series starts by looking at the information needed for bracing calculations. By Tom Edhouse, BRANZ Technical Advisor racing for a timber-framed building h = height of is required to resist horizontal wind roof above eaves and earthquake forces. The bracing H for subfloor (Table 5.5) demand to resist wind is expressed H for top or single storey (Table 5.6) Bin bracing units (B/Us) per lineal metre and 10 m max. for bracing units per square metre for earthquakes. NZS 3604 scope upper floor level Before starting bracing calculations, the H for lower of 2 storeys (Table 5.7) designer will need to collect the following lower floor level information for the specific building. average ground height NZS 3604:2011 Is the building being considered within the scope of NZS 3604:2011? For this, it must be lowest ground point no more than 2-storeys and a maximum height of 10 m from the lowest ground level to the Figure 1: How to work out H and h. uppermost portion of the roof. W where roof pitch is Designs within the scope of NZS 3604:2011 wind direction along ridge greater than 25° must provide bracing capacity that exceeds the higher of the minimum requirements in NZS 3604:2011 for: ❚ wind demand – Tables 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 ❚ earthquake demand – Tables 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10. W where roof pitch is Wind zone less than 25° Some territorial authorities have maps with wind bracing elements in line with zones.

What is a truss? A “truss” is formed when structural members are joined together in triangular configurations. The truss is one of the basic types of structural frames formed from structural members. A truss consists of a group of ties and struts designed and connected to form a structure that acts as a large span beam. The members usually form one or more triangles in a single plane and are arranged so the external loads are applied at the joints and therefore theoretically cause only axial tension or axial compression in the members.
