TRUSSES ( KEKUDA)

In architecture and
structural engineering
, a truss is a structure
comprising one or
more triangular units
constructed with
straight slender
members whose ends
are connected at
joints referred to as
nodes.
WHAT IS A ROOF TRUSS?
Roof trusses are frames made up of timber that
is nailed, bolted or pegged together to form
structurally interdependent shapes of great
strength. Never remove, modify or cut into a
roof truss without consulting a Structural
Engineer: your roof could fall down!
Roof trusses have to withstand the weight of
the roof timbers and coverings (the ‘Dead
Load’), plus a factor for your local Wind Load,
plus a factor for your local Snow Load, plus a
Safety Factor.
