👉Here’s a detailed breakdown of the two truss designs shown:
🔹 Truss A
- Slope: 12/12 (steep pitch, symmetrical rise and run)
- Span (L): Between 5 m and 8.5 m
- Divisions:
- Top chord divided into L/4 + L/4
- Bottom chord divided into L/3 + L/3
- Angles: 60°, 30°, 30°
- Special Note: Internal angles include 20° and 30°, giving a more distributed load path.
- Structural Behavior: This layout balances forces with smaller internal angles, making it efficient for moderate spans.
🔹 Truss B
- Slope: 12/12 (same as Truss A)
- Span (L): Between 5 m and 8.5 m
- Divisions:
- Top chord divided into L/4 + L/4
- Bottom chord divided into L/3 + L/3
- Angles: 60°, 30°, 30°
- Special Note: Internal angles include 20° and 90°, creating a vertical member.
- Structural Behavior: The vertical angle (90°) provides stronger vertical support, useful for central load transfer, but may increase material usage compared to Truss A.
⚖️ Comparison
- Both trusses share the same slope and span range.
- Truss A distributes forces diagonally with smaller angles → lighter, efficient design.
- Truss B introduces a vertical member → stronger central support, but heavier.
- Choice depends on load type:
- Truss A: Better for uniform roof loads.
- Truss B: Better for concentrated loads at mid-span.
