  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard They All Taxed For You: Shotguns, Camelbacks and More The Louvre in Paris, the Cabildo and Presbytère in the French Quarter, 1960s motor hotels, Lake Avenue apartments and early “Popeye’s Fried Chicken” outlets have what in common? The answer, of course, is the Mansard roof. After all, what exemplifies this architectural style more faithfully than Hawaiian black lava rock topped with red synthetic roof tiles? Architects and the late Al Copeland may have disagreed on this subject, but the history of the Mansard is still most interesting. The Mansard roof refers to a type of hip roof with two slopes on each of its four sides with the lower slope being much steeper, virtually vertical. The upper slope is usually not visible from the ground and is pitched just enough to shed water. For all intents and purposes, this is an additional story disguised as a roof. Sometimes, for decorative effect, the pitch is curved with impressive dormers. In modern commercial construction, the upper pitch has often been substituted with a flat roof. The Cabildo in New Orleans Mansard elevation, 1868 The architect, Francois Mansart (1598 - 1666), popularized the roof style known as Mansard, a misspelling of his name. The central portico of the Richelieu Wing of the Louvre is a fine example. In the years that French houses were taxed by the number of floors beneath the roof, the Mansard style afforded a clever way to avoid paying the tax collector. A revival of Mansard occurred in the 1850s rebuilding of Paris, and that era is called Second Empire.

McPolin Barn is an historic building and was listed as such on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It is a recognizable place and significant to the city of Park City. The objectives of this evaluation are as follows: • Assess the condition of the building under current design loads and use. • Identify areas of concern. • Provide reasonable options to upgrade the building for different usage. • Identify the best upgrade solution and usage with the city.

  • 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.

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.
