About this Chapter
This document contains the complete notes for Chapter 6: Design of Roof Trusses. Roof trusses are triangulated structural systems designed to bridge large spans and support roof loads efficiently.
In this chapter, students will explore the various types and components of roof trusses (such as purlins, rafters, and ties). A significant portion is dedicated to calculating loads, specifically wind loads, which are critical for lightweight roof structures.
