Stability and Bracing of Trussed Rafter Roofs
Trussed rafters are really trusses at close spacing introduced because rafters are needed at close spacing to support tiles and a number of advantages are obtained by making each pair of rafters into a truss instead of using stronger trusses at wider intervals. The first part of these notes is intended only as a simple explanation of the need for bracing and how it is applied in the most common form of construction. The succeeding part develops a method of calculation for the remedial bracing of roofs which were initially unbraced. The same method can be adapted for the calculated design of braces to be incorporated during construction.
