For pitched trusses, an effective depth-to-span ratio between 1:5 and 1:6
is recommended, and a minimum of not less than 1:7 unless specialconsideration is given todeflection. Much deeper trusses may be used forthe sake of appearance, such as for the steeply pitched roofs popular inchurches.It is desirable to use as few truss panels as the use of reasonable member
sizes willallow. This practice will mean fewer members to handle, fewerjoints to fabricate and assemble,and theoretically improved performance.The number of panels usually should be determined by reasonable top-chord sizes rather than by any fixed formula. For material of 2 to 4 in. thickness, desirable panel length will usually be in the range of 6 to 10 ft.
Thus, a symmetrical truss of 3 0 ft span would probably have four panels
whereas a 40 ft truss might have either four or six, and an 80 ft trusseight or ten.ROOF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMSOnly two basic systems of roof construction need be considered in truss
design. Oneapplies roof loads to the truss only at the panel points; theother applies them either continuously, as with plank roofing; or atintervals along the top, as with joints. The former system produces onlydirect stress in the chord member; the latter introduces bending as well
as direct stress.In terms of lumber alone, joints closely spaced along the chords or purlins
placed at and between panel points are more economical than purlinsplaced only at the panel points because the latter require heavier plankroofing or rafters and sheathing. However, labor costsare less if purlinsand planking are used instead of closely spaced joists because there are fewer pieces to handle and fewer points at which the planking must be
nailed. Thick planks of the lighter species of wood, with special tonguesand grooves, are sometimes applied directly to the top chords in palee of
joists or purlins. They are probably the least expensive to install from alabor standpoint. Plank roofing and heavy purlins offer improved fire
resistance, as doall heavy truss members compared to thinner or lightermembers. Purlins used at panel points do not introduce appreciablebending in the top chord. They may therefore be desirable as a means of

keeping chord sizes reasonable, particularly for larger spans, heavier
loadings, and forflat, pitched, or other straight-chord trusses. ROOF-TRUSS SPACINGThere are no fixed rules for spacing trusses in buildings. Spacing may be
affected by roof framing, wall construction, size of material available,loading conditions, and the column spacing desired for material handlingor traffic. In general, the greater the spacing, the moreeconomical thenconstruction, and the longer the span, the more desirable the greater
spacing. Spacing limits are set by the purlin or joists sizes available forframing between trusses.
Spacing is often more or less arbitrarily chosen because of its suitabilityfor a particular roof and wall construction or building function. Forexample, if masonry walls are used, a truss spacing is frequently selected
that will fit the pilaster spacing required for the lateral support of thewalls. If roof sheathing material is to be applied directly to the trusses
without auxiliary framing-in order to save the labour of placing thepurlins-the spacing might vary from, say, 2 ft with 1-in. sheathing, to 7 to9 ft, with 2 in. plank, or to still greater dimensions with heavier plank. If
joists or purlins are used between trusses, the spacing might bedetermined by economical and available joints sizes although common
usage would probably call for a spacing in the range of 14 to 20 ft. Ifspacing exceeds 20 ft, the availability of required sizes and lengths shoulddefinitely be considered. If spacing is desired that is greater than that
suitable for sawed purlins, either glued-laminated purlins or trussedpurlins may be used instead. PURLINSTRUSSIf the spacing of trusses requires longer purlins than are commercially
avilable, purlinstrusses are frequently used. Their design is similar to thatof any simple truss. If purlin trusses are inclined from the vertical, that is,if they do not have their top and bottom, chords in the same vertical

plane, as when used on pitched truss es, it is important that bracing be
providedto keep the bottom chords in proper position. ROOF- TRUSS BRACING AND ANCHORAGEBracing and anchorage is necessary to hold trusses and truss members in
proper position so that they can resist vertical loads as well as lateralloads such as wind, impact, or earthquake. Although roof framing willusually serve as lateral bracing for the top-chordmembers, it is importantthat adequate lateral supports be provided for the bottom-chord members(see Fig3.10), and also that consideration be given to the possible need
for vertical- sway bracing between top and bottom chords of adj acenttrusses (see (Fig. 3.11). Horizontalcross-bracing is sometimes required inthe plane of either the top and bottom chord, particularly in long buildingsin which the diaphragm action of the roof framing is not adequate for
end-wall forces, or in which side-wall loads are resisted by end walls ortruss and its support are not designed as a bent to resist the lateral load. Trusses must be securely anchored to properly designed walls or columns
and columnsin turn anchored to foundations. Unless some other provisionmade for lateral loads on the sidewalls and on the vertical projection ofthe roof-such as for diaphragm action in walls and roofsheathing- lateralresistance should be provided in the column members by means of k neebraces or fixity at the column base. The bracing should be designed and
detailed with the samecare as the truss itself and not left to the judgmentof the contractor. The bracing requirements here suggested areminimums, and are not dependent on actual lateral-load analysis or onlocal code requirements. Vertical cross-bracing should be installed at thebottom chord at the location of the vertical bracing and be continuous
from end.

If required, bottom lateral bracing usually appears in same sections as
vertical sway bracing. Members are fastened to truss or to horizontalrunners and plate. Wood members may be used, or steel rods. Hangersmay be used from roof framing to eliminate sag in members. Continuousrunners run full length of building. They may be nearly square, solid members or built up in T,U, or I shapes. They are fasten to bottomchord or webmembers near chord. Built-up runners should be spiked andbolted together. For top lateral bracing, diagonal roof sheathing wellapplied to joists or purlins-with these in turn securely fastened to thetruss is usually sufficient. Sometimes, however, bracing similar to bottom lateral bracing should be applied in the plane of the top chords. DesignConditions

Vertical sway bracing is to be used in end section as a minimum, possibly
two sections ateach end and near midspan for long buildings. It consistsof wood members or steel rods fastened to the truss, roof structure, orrunners. Column-and-wall bracing should be usedwhere possible, it mayconsist of diagonal sheathing with studs or girts, let -in braing, or cross-bracing. Crossing may be of wood members or steel rods.

AXIAL FORCE A push (compression) or pull
(tension) acting along the length of a member.
Usually measured in pounds.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
pounds per square inch.BENDING MOMENT A measure of the bending
effect on a member due to forces acting
perpendicular to the length of the member. The
bending moment at the given point along a member
equals the sum of all perpendicular forces, either to
the left or right of the point, times their
corresponding distances from the point. Usually
measured in inch-pounds.
BENDING STRESS The force per square inch of
area acting at a point along the length of a member
resulting from the bending moment applied at that
point. Usually measured in pounds per square inch.
CONCENTRATED LOAD Additional loading
centered at a given point. An example is a crane or
hoist hanging from the bottom chord at a panel
point.DEAD LOAD Any permanent load such as the
weight of the member itself, purlins, sheathing,
roofing, ceiling, etc.DEFLECTION Downward vertical movement of a
truss due to dead and live loads.LIVE LOAD Any loading which is not of a
permanent nature such as snow, wind, movable
concentrated loads, furniture, etc.REACTION Forces acting on a truss through itssupports that are equal but opposite to the sum of
the dead and live load thereby holding the truss in a
stable position.STRESS DIAGRAM Graphical solution of axial
