Trussed rafter roofs — Load distribution and lateral stability

Abstract

This paper (originally published as IS 24/78) summarises the load sharing capabilities of the components of a laboratory test roof constructed with fink trussed rafters. The lateral stability of the roof with different diagonal bracing systems in the plane of the rafters was assessed.
