Bracing Roof Trusses | Detailed explanation
The structure of the roof is not complete without bracing properly, and gable walls must be made Attached to the roof structure. The second was handled when we saw some of them worse.
In Figures 6.20 and 6.21 the strapping work is executed beside the clockwork gables.
Chapter 4, Section ‘Support for stone walls, where the same principles apply. Exactly
Done, these would be more than enough.
We have not dealt with how to connect the wood-framed panel gables to the roof structure. Figure 6.21 gives a clue. The photograph was taken on all sites
Notice that the stone walls are attached to a long continuous tree on top of the trussed
Rafter struts and galvanized strap attached to it.
The tree is part of the roof bracing, and the picture shows that it is also possible
Used as an anchor point to tie in gables. What happens in the construction of a wooden frame.
The brace extends to the depth of the panel and is secured directly to the studs of the panel or to the dang or nogging secured between the pair of adjacent studs.
The authors have seen many direct connections, and some have fixed the minor problem of different angles of braces and studs, while the latter is vertical and the first is the tilt with the struts on the trussed rafter.
What usually happens is that the carpenter takes an axe to the edge of the brace and cuts it Roughly depending on the stud, and then with a thin nail or two The End – It Splits! If noggings are installed they are badly done and not properly secured Studs.
Figure 6.26 shows the method of dealing with both cases, which may take some time to implement but improve the end result beyond all measures.
Other braces within the trussed rafter roof: Diagonal braces at the bottom of all rafters on each roof plane On the outside are horizontal braces, both sides of the trusses peaks
Horizontal brace along the top edge of the tie.
Figure 6.27 illustrates these. The last part of the structure is whether or not the rafters are covered with sheet material such as wood boarding or plywood, OSB, or some other fiber-based board. The tradition varies across the UK.
How to install permanent bracing while framing:
There were arguments for and against boarding, with old bituminous felts beneath the slates or tiles and the way of fixing the slats and tiles spatially. With the advent of alternatives to bituminous felts, it is often a matter of how slates or tiles are attached and whether the boarding does some structural work.
Traditional boarding is sawed and now processed, plain edge board 150 × 12.5,
150 × 15 or 150 × 20. This boarding is called sarking. It is nailed to each rafter with two
65 galvanized nails press the edges together as the nailing is done.
If the batens are to be attached to the roof, 12.5 or 15 thick boards may be sufficient, depending on the range from rafter to rafter. If you need to attach slates directly to the sarcasm, at least 20 thick boards should be used.
No sarcasm can be fixed there, then a lining that can expand horizontally
Rafters should be used without tearing. Old bituminous felts have a reinforced variety,
The reinforcement is a mesh of Hessian yarn.
This was sometimes called the sarcastic feeling. These feelings when not subjected to cube
Water and air were not allowed to pass through and this was the hallmark of modern roof construction. Chapter Ventilation is covered in Chapter 7, Roof Coverings. Modern
The equivalent of older felts is usually a plastic sheet; One is made of about 50 centers with fine perforations in each way.
It is marketed under the brand name Tylene by Visqueen Building Products. Figure 6.28 shows how it works and is not subject to solid water and allows air to pass through each path. Others are made of felted polypropylene fibers such as Tyvek.
Felted polypropylene fiber wrappers cannot penetrate into solid water but are breathable.
Most recently tested roofs are mounted with 12 coated plywood, followed by breathable membranes such as silane and batons to fix the tiles.
Sliced ceilings are fastened and covered with wood sarking or thick woven plywood
Polypropylene has one of the fiber fields. Slating is the author’s home area that sits directly on sarcasm boards.
Natural timber sarking imbued a certain amount of bracing or stiffening of the roof
structure to which it was fixed. This is also true of the sheet materials used in its place
and these now become a necessary part of the structure in tightly designed roofs in timber
frame construction.
Our discussion so far has followed a progression that has ended in the concentration
on trussed rafter roofs as if they were the only thing built today. While this is not the
case, trussed rafters account for the majority of roofs erected now.
