CAN BE USED WITH ASBESTOS CEMENT,
GALVANISED CORRUGATED ROOF SHEETS
IT IS DECORATIVE & ENHANCES THE
BEAUTY OF THE ROOF.

USES:
PLENTY OF NATURAL LIGHT
IN GARDENS, TERRACE, OPEN TO SKY
AREAS, FACTORIES, COLD STORAGE.

STRENGTH.

TRUSSES
A TRUSS IS ESSENTIALLY A
TRIANGULATED SYSTEM OF STRAIGHT
INTERCONNECTED STRUCTURAL
ELEMENTS
IT IS SOMETIMES ALSO REFERRED TO AS
AN OPEN WEB GIRDER.
THE INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS ARE
CONNECTED AT NODES; THE
CONNECTIONS ARE OFTEN ASSUMED TO
BE NOMINALLY PINNED.
THE EXTERNAL FORCES APPLIED TO THE
SYSTEM AND THE REACTIONS AT THE
SUPPORTS ARE GENERALLY APPLIED AT
THE NODES.
THE PRINCIPAL FORCE IN EACH
ELEMENT IN A TRUSS IS AXIAL TENSION
OR COMPRESSION.

THE MAIN REASON WHY TRUSSES ARE USED:

LONG SPAN
LIGHTWEIGHT
CONTROLLED DEFLECTION
OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT CONSIDERABLE LOAD
TRUSSES ARE WIDELY USED TO SERVE TWO MAIN FUNCTIONS.
TO CARRY THE ROOF LOAD
TO PROVIDE HORIZONTAL STABILITY
TO GET AN EFFICIENT LAYOUT OF THE TRUSS MEMBERS BETWEEN THE CHORDS
THE FOLLOWING IS ADVISABLE:
THE INCLINATION OF THE DIAGONAL MEMBERS IN RELATION TO THE CHORDS
SHOULD BE BETWEEN 35 AND 55
POINT LOADS SHOULD ONLY BE APPLIED AT NODES
THE ORIENTATION OF THE DIAGONAL MEMBERS SHOULD BE SUCH THAT THE
LONGEST MEMBERS ARE SUBJECT TO TENSION .

TYPES OF TRUSSES

KING POST TRUSS

QUEEN POST TRUSS
HOWE TRUSS
PRATT TRUSS

HOWE TRUSS

It is made of combination of wood and steel.

The vertical members or tension members
are made of steel.
It can be used for spans from 6-30m

QUEEN POST ROOF TRUSS

Queen Post Truss is also a wooden truss.

It can be used for spans up to 10m

PRATT TRUSS

Pratt Truss is made of steel.

Vertical members are tension and diagonal
members are compression.
It can be used for spans from 6-10m

FAN TRUSSES
It is made of steel.
In Fan Trusses, top chords are divided into
small lengths in order to provide supports
for purlins.
It can be used for spans from 10-15m.

LARGE SPAN ROOF TRUSSES

QUADRANGULAR ROOF TRUSSES

NORTH LIGHT TRUSS

USED FOR SHORT SPANS IN

INDUSTRIAL WORKSHOP-TYPE
BUILDINGS
ALLOW MAXIMUM BENEFIT TO BE
GAINED FROM NATURAL LIGHTING
THE USE OF GLAZING ON THE
STEEPER PITCH WHICH GENERALLY
FACES NORTH OR NORTH-EAST TO
REDUCE SOLAR GAIN.

USES:

INCREASE NATURAL DAYLIGHTING

REDUCE THE OPERATIONAL
CARBON EMISSIONS OF BUILDINGS
REDUCE THE REQUIREMENT FOR
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
REDUCE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING

GREEN ROOFS / ECO ROOFS

A PLANTED ROOF TOP THAT
PROVIDES BENEFITS OF WATER
HARVESTING, STORM
MANAGEMENT, POLLUTION
ABATEMENT AND AESTHETIC VALUE.
EXTEND THE EXPECTED LIFE OF
THE ROOFS BASE MATERIAL.
USES:
SAVES WATER BY HARVESTING RAIN
REDUCES HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
LOWERS SURFACE TEMPERATURE
REDUCES THE ROOF MAINTENANCE COST
CONTRIBUTES TO BIODIVERSITY
FILTERS AIR POLLUTANTS

GREEN ROOFS IN HOUSES:

ACCESSORIES NEEDED:

POLYCARBONATE ROOFING

FIBER GLASS ENCLOSURES

Polycarbonate enclosures can withstand

over 900 pounds of impact

Impact resistance is 4 times less

Maintains shape,colour,strength when

Exposed to UV RAYS.

It fades over time and UV RAYS

makes the material to deteriorate.

More easily modified to different shapes

Less flexible

They are marine friendly resistant to

salt water , direct water spray..

Should be careful while using water

on it

cleaner look than fibreglass

When a hole is cut , the same material

cant be used as a lid ,window,etc..
