High winds and roof trusses.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 01/09/81Description: 12p, 7 refsReport number: JCUQ-CTS-INFORMATION-BUL-2Subject: Wind velocities and the associated forces occurring in exposed areas of Australia can be greater than those likely to occur in sheltered areas of the defined cyclone zone. Such winds frequently overcome the mass of roofing causing reversal of forces in truss members and upward reaction. Roof trusses are designed to cope with the reversal of forces, but there is a dearth of information about hold-down provision to resist the upward reactions. These data should be supplied by the truss designers and fabricators as part of their engineering service .550.
