Analysis of Load Distribution between Rafters in a Traditional Timber Roof Structure. Part 1: Building and Validating a Computer Model

C. B. Pierce / P. S. K. Harrod

A computer model was developed which represented the load sharing behavior of parts (or the whole) of a traditional purlin roof. A rectangular grid system intended to represent a set of rafters connected by tiling battens and a fascia board was analyzed using a subsystem of the GENESYS suite of programs known as FRAME ANALYSIS. The structural model used in the program provided results on load distribution which agreed with those obtained on full scale roof tests, although assumptions were made concerning material and joint characteristics.
