  • 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.

CANTILEVER That structural portion of a truss which extends PANEL POINT The point of intersection of a chord with the beyond the support. The cantilever dimension is measured web or webs. from the outside face of the support to the heel joint. Note that the cantilever is different from the overhang. PEAK Highest point on a truss where the sloped top chords meet. CAMBER An upward vertical displacement built into a truss bottom chord to compensate for defl ection due to dead load.

  • Rolling Roof Trusses,” Pp
    Rolling 94 FINE HOMEBUILDING Roof Trusses Factory-made trusses save time and give you a roof engineered for strength and stability BY LARRY HAUN oof trusses offer many advantages. They are lightweight (generally made from kiln-dried 2x4s), so they Rare fairly easy to handle. Because trusses are engineered, they can span longer distances without having to rest on interior bearing walls, allowing for more flexibility in room size and layout. Finally, installing trusses on most houses is pretty simple. If you want to get a house weatherized quickly, roof trusses are the way to go. Ceiling joists and rafters are installed in one shot, and no tricky cuts or calculations are required. Lay out braces as well as plates Laying out the top plates for trusses is the same as for roof rafters. Whenever possible, I mark truss locations on the top plates before the framed walls are raised, which keeps me from having to do the layout from a ladder or scaffolding. For most roofs, the trusses are spaced 2 ft. on center (o.c.). I simply hook a IT’S EASY TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FASCIA Even if the walls aren’t perfectly straight, the trusses can be. To keep the eaves aligned and the fascias straight, you can take advantage of truss uniformity. Snap a chalk- line along an outside top plate (top photo). Align a mark on the truss with the chalkline when you set the truss (photos right).

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.
