Starting at joint Aorda, the internal forces can be found by drawing lines in the Cremona diagram representing the forces in the members 1 and 4, going clockwise; V A (going up) load at A (going down), force in member 1 (going down/left), member 4 (going up/right) and closing with V A. As the force in member 1 is towards the joint, the member ...
Two king post trusses linked to support a roof. Key:1: ridge beam, 2: purlins, 3: common rafters. This is an example of a "double roof" with principal rafters and common rafters.

The sub-floor plan provides construction details for this area, including the arrangement of services (such as plumbing and framing structures). Roof plans outline the type of roof and materials to use [4], its pitch and framing structure required. Interior elevation drawings provides detailed views of interior walls that showcase their design ...
Neo-Mansard, Faux Mansard, False Mansard, Fake Mansard: Common in the 1960s and 70s in the U.S., these roofs often lack the double slope of the Mansard roof and are often steeply sloped walls with a flat roof.

Pre-manufactured roof trusses come in a wide variety of styles. They are designed by the manufacturer for each specific building.

The main function of an OWSJ is to provide direct support for roof or floor deck and to transfer the load imposed on the deck to the structural frame i.e. beam and column. In order to accurately design an OWSJ, engineers consider the joist span between bearing points, joist spacing, slope, live loads , dead loads , collateral loads, seismic ...
A hammer-beam is a form of timber roof truss, allowing a hammerbeam roof to span greater than the length of any individual piece of timber.In place of a normal tie beam spanning the entire width of the roof, short beams – the hammer beams – are supported by curved braces from the wall, and hammer posts or arch-braces are built on top to support the rafters and typically a collar beam.
