  • Truss Deflection

    Truss Deflection

    Truss Deflection Truss deflection may be something you do not give much thought to when designing trusses. Unfortunately, meeting the code permitted deflection ratio does not always guarantee satisfactory performance. Regardless of what the codes say, most people regard large levels of deflection as a sign of structural deficiency. Paying attention to deflection may be the key to whether your customer is satisfied with you as a supplier and continues to buy your products. Deflection of a truss is generally based on the amount of vertical movement from its original position due to the loads applied to the members. The amount of deflection depends on the span and stiffness of the members, and the magnitude of the loads applied. Codes provide the maximum allowable deflection limits for floor and roof trusses, which is based solely on the truss span. Generally, for roof trusses, the deflection in inches due to live load cannot exceed the span in inches divided by 240 (L/240) and due to total load L/180. For floor trusses, the deflection in inches due to live load cannot exceed the span in inches divided by 360 (L/360) and due to total load L/240. To meet code deflection criteria, a 40-foot span roof truss could have live load deflection 2 inches, which does not ensure satisfactory performance. MiTek engineers recommend using the deflection limits listed below.

    Residential I-Joist & LVL Installation Guide

    Engineered Wood Products Wood—the miracle material. Wood is the right choice for a host of construction applications. It is the earth’s natural, energy efficient and renewable building material. Engineered wood is a better use of wood. The miracle in today’s wood products is that they make more efficient use of the wood fiber resource to make stronger plywood, oriented strand board, I-joists, glued laminated timbers and laminated veneer lumber. That’s good for the environment and good for designers seeking strong, efficient and striking building design. A few facts about wood. We’re growing more wood every day. Forests fully cover one-third of the United States’ and one-half of Canada’s land mass. Residential I-Joist & LVL American landowners plant more than two billion trees every year. In addition, millions of trees seed naturally. The forest products industry, which comprises about 15 percent of forestland ownership, is INSTALLATION responsible for 41 percent of replanted forest acreage. That works out to more than one billion trees a year, or about three million trees planted every day. This high rate of replanting accounts for the fact that each year, 27 percent more timber is grown than is harvested. Canada’s replanting record shows a fourfold increase in the number of trees planted between 1975 and 1990. GUIDE Life Cycle Assessment shows wood is the greenest building product. A 2004 CORRIM study gave scientific validation to the strength of wood as a green building product. In examining building products’ life cycles—from extraction of the raw material to demolition of the building at the end of its long lifespan—CORRIM found that wood was better for the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, global warming potential, air emissions, water emissions, and solid waste production.

The convex curvature of a beam, typically used in glulam beams. Cantilever. A horizontal member fixed at one end and free at the other. Cap. A sawn lumber or glulam component placed horizontally on an abutment or pier to distribute the live load and dead load of the superstructure. Clear Span. Inside distance between the faces of support. Connector. Synonym for fastener. Crib. A structure consisting of a foundation grillage and a framework providing compartments that are filled with gravel, stones, or other material satisfactory for supporting the structure to be placed thereon. Check. A lengthwise separation of the wood that usually extends across the rings of annual growth and commonly results from stresses set up in wood during seasoning. Creep. Time dependent deformation of a wood member under sustained load. Dead Load. The structure’s self weight. Decay. The decomposition of wood substance by fungi. Some people refer to it as “rot”. Decking. A subcategory of dimension lumber, graded primarily for use with the wide face placed flatwise. Delamination. The separation of layers in laminated wood or plywood because of failure of the adhesive, either within the adhesive itself or at the interface between the adhesive and the adhered.

    A Simple Beam Test: Motivating High School Teachers to Develop Pre-Engineering Curricula

    Session 2326 A Simple Beam Test: Motivating High School Teachers to Develop Pre-Engineering Curricula Eric E. Matsumoto, John R. Johnston, E. Edward Dammel, S.K. Ramesh California State University, Sacramento Abstract The College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Sacramento has developed a daylong workshop for high school teachers interested in developing and teaching pre-engineering curricula. Recent workshop participants from nine high schools performed “hands-on” laboratory experiments that can be implemented at the high school level to introduce basic engineering principles and technology and to inspire students to study engineering. This paper describes one experiment that introduces fundamental structural engineering concepts through a simple beam test. A load is applied at the center of a beam using weights, and the resulting midspan deflection is measured. The elastic stiffness of the beam is determined and compared to published values for various beam materials and cross sectional shapes. Beams can also be tested to failure. This simple and inexpensive experiment provides a useful springboard for discussion of important engineering topics such as elastic and inelastic behavior, influence of materials and structural shapes, stiffness, strength, and failure modes. Background engineering concepts are also introduced to help high school teachers understand and implement the experiment. Participants rated the workshop highly and several teachers have already implemented workshop experiments in pre-engineering curricula. I. Introduction The College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Sacramento has developed an active outreach program to attract students to the College and promote engineering education. In partnership with the Sacramento Engineering and Technology Regional Consortium1 (SETRC), the College has developed a daylong workshop for high school teachers interested in developing and teaching pre-engineering curricula.

    I-Beam Cantilever Racks Meet the Latest Addition to Our Quick Ship Line

    48 HOUR QUICK SHIP Maximize storage and improve accessibility I-Beam cantilever racks Meet the latest addition to our Quick Ship line. Popular for their space-saving design, I-Beam cantilever racks can allow accessibility from both sides, allowing for faster load and unload times. Their robust construction reduces fork truck damage. Quick Ship I-beam cantilever racks offer: • 4‘ arm length, with 4” vertical adjustability • Freestanding heights of 12’ and 16’ • Structural steel construction with a 50,000 psi minimum yield • Heavy arm connector plate • Bolted base-to-column connection I-Beam Cantilever Racks can be built in either single- or double-sided configurations. How to design your cantilever rack systems 1. Determine the number and spacing of support arms. 1a The capacity of each 4’ arm is 2,600#, so you will need to make sure that you 1b use enough arms to accommodate your load. In addition, you can test for deflection by using wood blocks on the floor under the load. 1c Use enough arms under a load to prevent deflection of the load. Deflection causes undesirable side pressure on the arms. If you do not detect any deflection with two wood blocks, you may use two support arms. Note: Product should overhang the end of the rack by 1/2 of the upright centerline distance. If you notice deflection, try three supports. Add supports as necessary until deflection is eliminated. Loading without overhang is incorrect. I-Beam cantilever racks WWW.STEELKING.COM 2. Determine if Quick Ship I-Beam arm length is appropriate for your load.
