Spider web geometry inspires long span roof trusses
… and implement them into a practical long span roof truss structure. Specifically, utilizing data and properties of spider webs found in research from Su et al. (Su I. a., 2016). The research uses and implements spider's web design blueprints in present day structural systems. Initially, the …

Preservation of early wrought iron trusses : the 1848 roof of the Cochituate gatehouse
… and preservation challenges of the wrought iron roof trusses of the Cochituate aqueduct's inlet gatehouse as the possible earliest surviving example of their type in the United States. Through an examination of the existing structure and archival documentation of the structure's history from …

Numerical analyses of the effectiveness of secondary tailgate support systems: a stability approach
… The tailgate entry was considered as a part of roof-pillar-floor system, whose behavior is controlled largely by the structural integrity of each member. Numerical modeling was then conducted on tailgate openings to determine roof, floor, and rib responses, including failure modes to a variety …

The effect of gap size on performance of metal plated joints in compression
… also evaluated. Specimens representing floor and roof trusses, with 16 and 20 gauge plates of staggered and aligned tooth configurations were tested for each of two gap sizes. Generally, 20 gauge plates and 16 gauge plates with 1/8” gaps buckled under compression loads while 16 gauge plates with …

Experimental analysis of king-post truss with semi-rigid joints
… plates using helically threaded nails to form roof trusses has been widely developed in recent years. Actually, the nailed member has proven to be extremely strong and stiff, but it is not perfectly rigid. The effect of non-rigidity of joints in resisting bending and thrust are investigated in …

Analysis of Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Assemblies under Out-of-Plane Loads
… Anchors for fall protection systems attached to roof trusses may cause out-of-plane loading on these structures. Metal plate connected wood trusses (MPCWT) are not designed to carry out-of-plane loads and MPCWT performance under these loads are not evaluated in the design process. The goal of …

From Waste to Structure: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to Circular Design
… of inventory-constrained design of planar roof trusses and demonstrated in a realistic example of assembling a long-span roof from a disassembled transmission tower.
