The questions within this section address the following unit:

CPCCCA3006B Erect roof trusses
1.1 Roof trusses are often delivered to the site when the wall framing has been built and
temporarily braced. What provisions are made to deliver the trusses to the work area, and what
assistance and information can be given to the delivery driver with regard to off-loading the
trusses? Give 3 examples.
 Verbally interviewed

1 The suitability of the area where the long pack or frame or truss is to be unloaded has been identified, tested and
determined suitable including factors such as weight, length, traffic and any other conditions that may cause an
issue with placing the load on the surface

2 All potential pedestrians and other workers in the area have been notified, and the area is to remain clear while
loading occurs

3 All product and other material that can be removed from the exclusion zone has been or is removed
1.2 What 2 checks must be made upon delivery of trusses to the building site?
 Verbally interviewed

1 Quantity of material requested

2 Check that the material is delivered correctly and that it does not have any damage
 1.3 How should trusses be stored on site? Comment on the image below.
 Verbally interviewed

Trusses must be examined prior to arrival at the site. Any damaged structure should be reported
immediately and should not be repaired on site without approval from the structure manufacturer.
When trusses are arranged to be stored on site for an extended period prior to use, appropriate
measures must be taken to safeguard the trusses against the effects of the weather. Once the
trusses are installed, they should not be left outdoors for long periods. Repeated moisture and drying
have a detrimental effect on the strength of both the wood and the connection. The protective cover,
when used, must allow free circulation of air around the trusses.
when stored in the workplace they should be off the ground and in a flat position to avoid
deformation. When lifting, care must be taken to avoid damaging the joints and wood.

 Verbally interviewed

Truss component Description

Top chord The top members of a truss.

Bottom chord The bottom members of a truss.

Webs Any internal members connecting the Top Chords and the Bottom Chords.

Joints
A truss is a set of beams or other elements that creates a rigid structure.
For straight members, moments are explicitly excluded because all joints
in a truss are treated as revolute, it is necessary for the links to be two-
force members.
 1.6 Write the correct name of the truss design under each diagram.
 Verbally interviewed

King post Queen post A type

B type C type Pratt

Truncated Double inverted Parallel chorded truss

Vault Bowstring Polynesian

1.7 Define the term ‘roof bevel’.
 Verbally interviewed
is an instrument that consists of two rulers or arms joined together and that open at any angle to draw
angles or adjust surfaces to cut at an angle.

1.8 oof trusses need to be able to withstand a variety of forces acting on them. Describe the 3
main categories of ‘loads’.
 Verbally interviewed

Type of load Description

Dead load Dead loads, known as permanent or static loads, are those that remain relatively constant over time
and comprise, for example, the weight of the structural elements of a building, such as beams, walls,
ceilings, etc…. Dead loads can also include permanent nonstructural partitions, immovable fixtures,
and even built-in cabinets.

Live load Live loads can vary over time, they can also include the weight of the audience in an auditorium,
books in a library, traffic loads, etc ...

Wind load When the wind blows against a building, the resulting force acting on the elevations is called 'wind
load'. The structural design of the building must absorb wind forces safely and efficiently and
transfer them to the foundation to avoid structural collapse.
1.9 The installation of prefabricated timber trusses is covered by which Australian Standard?
 Verbally interviewed
The installation of prefabricated timber trusses is covered by the Australian Standard AS4440-2004

1.10 70 lengths of timber were delivered to a building site. There are 178 lengths left in the stack.
How many lengths have been used?
 Verbally interviewed
92

1.11 You need to cut a 2.845 metre piece of timber from a 3.3 metre length of timber. Calculate
the length of the left over piece of timber.
 Verbally interviewed
0.455 m
1.12 If a building has 17 roof trusses and each truss uses 7 gang nails. How many gang nails will
you need?
 Verbally interviewed
119
1.13 What is the purpose of a construction environmental management plan?
 Verbally interviewed
Work with employees, contractors, and project partners to have project results that limit environmental
impacts and, where possible, provide a net environmental benefit.

1.14 escribe the 3 safe techniques for lifting trusses.

 Verbally interviewed

1 Trusses are typically delivered by a crane truck and, where possible, they can be placed directly on the top plates of the frame and
stacked flat.

2 When lifting, care must be taken to avoid damaging the joints and wood.

3 For trusses with a span of more than 9 m, tie rods or spacer bars should be used.
1.15 When reviewing the roof truss layout plan, what 5 components should you be checking for?
 Verbally interviewed

1 Review the dimensions of the supporting structure before fabrication.

2 review the truss design to identify the trusses, and also verify the correct orientation of two-span trusses, multiple trusses,
and cantilevers

3 Check that the support structure is suitable for the loads to be applied, especially where the beam reinforcement is located.
located, and lintels.

4 Review that information about roof bracing, bottom rope bracing. Another applied load (solar tank, etc.) is provided on the
roof.

5 review that information on truss-to-truss connections, ties, webbing, scabs, etc. is clearly provided in the design.
1.16 Safe Work Australia’s publication, “Preventing Falls in Housing Construction – Code of Practice
– July 2012” provides guidance on safe erection methods for roof trusses. Provide a summary of the
recommended safe work practices.
 Verbally interviewed
If you work in the home construction industry, there are duties and obligations that you must meet in relation
to fall prevention, under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OHS Act) of 2004 and the Occupational
Safety and Health Regulations (Regulations OHS) 2017. This code of compliance gives you practical guidance
on how to fulfill those duties and obligations. If your job involves general construction, refer to the Code of
Compliance: Fall Prevention in General Construction.

It includes information on: who has functions for the prevention of falls in housing construction How to
identify and manage the risks associated with falls How to control the risks associated with falls from more
than 2 meters How to control the risks associated with falls from 2 meters meters or less
1.17 List 3 pre-operational checks that must be conducted prior to using a nail gun.
 Verbally interviewed

1 Nails are properly loaded into gun.

2 The compressed air hose is in good condition and is undamaged.

3 The workpiece is secured in a jig and identifies the trigger switch in one shot mode.
 1.18 Where would the location points, or ‘stations’ for each truss component be found to enable the
top plates to be marked accordingly?
 Verbally interviewed
On layout plans

1.19 escribe the truss set out process

 Verbally interviewed
Roof truss layout deals with the process of correctly using truss technology to roof shapes in building design.
The process is the following:

Use roof lines in drawings to convert roof shapes into separate lattice areas known as 'blocks'.
Establish the positions of the key trusses in each block.
Establish the positions of the remaining reinforcing bars.
Define where valley fills are required.

1.20 teel frames and trusses present additional risks and hazards to timber components. Manual
handling issues and the electrical conductivity of the metal components require extra care. How
can the electrical risks and hazards of constructing with metal components be greatly reduced?
 Verbally interviewed
Steel frames must be constantly grounded in accordance with the requirements of local electrical authorities.
A temporary ground must be set until permanent ground is installed.
An electric current will follow the path of least resistance, the amount of current being in inverse proportion to
the resistances involved. In other words, if there are two paths the current can follow, it will split in two and
the stronger current will be conducted through the lower resistance. If that resistance is very low relative to
the other, almost all the current will flow through it.
This is how the "grounding" process works. Steel is a good conductor of electricity, so any electrical current is
unlikely to pass through a human body rather than the frame to the ground system.
Non-conductive building materials with higher electrical resistances than steel actually increase the possibility
of more current passing through the person.

1.21 oof trusses, while structurally solid once completed, can be unstable and present the risk of
collapse or ‘toppling over’ during construction. How can this risk be reduced?
 Verbally interviewed
trusses must be reinforced during tension. If this is not done, two problems can occur:

• Collapse during stress

• Tension tolerance will be exceeded, causing overloading, buckling, and possible permanent damage
.
The following recommendations are for guidance only, as the details used are the responsibility of the fitter:

- The first truss must be erected straight and plumb to the previously given mounting tolerances and
temporarily braced to a rigid element, eg wall or floor as shown in the diagram below.
-Each successive truss must be spaced using TrussSpacers. TrussSpacers are recommended in place of
gauge rod or wooden ties, as these can be attached to the trusses prior to lifting the trusses on the top plates.
1.22 ustralian Standard for the installation of nailplated trusses AS 4440 requires that temporary
ties are to be used on top chords at spacings no greater than 2000 mm and on bottom chords
at spacings no greater than 4000mm.
 Verbally interviewed
 2000 mm
 3000 mm
 4000 mm
 5000 mm

1.23 What is the minimum size of temporary ties for truss spacings up to 900mm? Complete
the table.
 Verbally interviewed

For top chord 25 x 50 F5

For bottom chord 35 x 70 F5

1.24 Tolerance is critical for both a good roof line and effective bracing. If a bow or tilt is evident
to the eye, what does this generally mean?
 Verbally interviewed
usually if an arch or slope is obvious to the eye, the truss has been erected out of tolerances.

1.25 hat are the requirements for fixing of timber trusses to the top plates of non-loadbearing
walls? Complete the table.
 Verbally interviewed

Non-bracing wall Where a non-loadbearing wall is stable in its own right, no stabilizing fixing is required.

Bracing wall Where a non-loadbearing wall is stable in its own right, no stabilizing fixing is required.
1.26 Describe the process of installing creeper trusses.
 Verbally interviewed
Creeper connectors can be used to attach single and double miter shear / cut trusses to hip / boomerang
truss trusses.
CreeperConnectors can also be used as long as a miter plate is specified in AS4440. Always attach the
shorter leg of a CreeperConnector to the hip / boomerang chord and the longest leg to the jack / cut-off
chord.
CreeperConnectors should be attached with 30 x 2.8mm MiTek Galvanized Reinforced Head Nails, as
specified for each fastener type, as well as 3/75mm Flat Head Nails driven directly through the strands.

1.27 ow is the bottom chord of a truss connected to internal walls, while still allowing for the
settling of the truss under load?
 Verbally interviewed
For trusses with a roof directly secured to the bottom chords of the truss with glue or nails, tie-downs as
temporary bracing to the bottom ropes are needed until the roof is fully secured in place.
When lower rope ties are needed, they must be braced or secured to a building element, such as bearing
walls, which in turn can transfer these bracing loads to the structure.
Steelbrace should be approximately 45 ° from the top wall plates, and are secured to each truss and to the
wall in the same manner as for the top rope brace attachment.

1.28 escribe the process of locating and erecting the hip end of a trussed roof project.
 Verbally interviewed
The installation of this type of roofing begins with the placement of the Dutch Beam or the Truncated Beam,
placing it on the upper plate in the indicated position. It should be temporarily held in position by leaning
against the wall frame. then hip and jack frames should be fitted, where applicable, retrofitted and secured to
the beam frame in place.

For the hip roof, more truncated trusses are put on and secured and then the full truss at the top of the hip.
Corner completion generally involves the installation of creeper beams with the same spacing as for the
trusses. When the full frames are in position, the intermediate frames can be mounted, tied and secured.

1.29 hat are the requirements for top chord bracing?

 Verbally interviwed
For a top chord bracing system it is to transmit the forces generated in the top chord restraints
back to the support structure. The forces occur by resisting the buckling of the upper members of
the chord and by the wind load perpendicular to the section of the trusses.

1.30 utline the requirements for bottom chord bracing.

 Verbally interviewed
A stable bottom chord bracing system is needed to bind the truss bottom chords against lateral buckling
under wind uplift. Commonly, a secure direct or slatted ceiling is sufficient to perform this function, except
as noted in Lower Rope Ties.

1.32 What is the name of the type of roof shown below? Discuss the characteristics of this
roof type.
 Verbally interviewed

Gable roof
A gable roof is the classic roof shape and most common in parts of the world with cold or temperate climates. It consists of two roof
sections pitched in opposite directions and positioned so that the higher horizontal edges meet to form the roof ridge.
1.33 Which section of the BCA relates to fire separation?
 Verbally interviewed
The BCA p2. Provision 3.1 requires: Class 1a buildings be protected from the spread of fire from adjacent
buildings and the allotment boundary other than a boundary contiguous to a road or public space.
1.34 What formula is used to calculate the pitch of a roof?
 Verbally interviewed
The angle, or pitch, of a roof is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it
extends horizontally. For example, a roof that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run has a
6-in-12 pitch.
1.35 termi-blue™ is often used for roof trusses. Describe 5 features of termi-blue treated timber.
 Verbally interviewed

1 Sourced from sustainable Australian plantation pine forests.

2 Protected against termites by a safe modern wood preservative.

3 Manufactured in a state-of-the-art environmentally compliant facility in accordance with Australian Standards.

4 Guaranteed against failure due to termites by a Tanalised® structural guarantee (see below).

5 Supplied dry (< 15% moisture content) so the timber is lightweight, dimensionally stable and easy to work with.
1.36 Using the internet, locate the SDS for termi-blue treated timber. What are the
recommended engineering control measures when handling termi-blue treated timber?
 Verbally interviewed
Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure Standards. Avoid
generating and inhaling dusts. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing dust mask. Personal
protection equipment: OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES, DUST MASK.

1.37 hat are the disposal requirements for CCA treated timber?
 Verbally interviewed
Do not burn CCA-treated timber in fireplaces, barbecues, wood stoves or any wood fire.
In the event of a bushfire, the ash from burnt CCA-treated timber can contain up to 10 per cent (by
weight) arsenic, chromium and copper.

Swallowing only a few grams of this ash can be harmful. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting,
diarrhoea and a ‘pins and needles’ feeling in the skin. Keep children and pets away from CCA-treated
ash until it is removed, and see a doctor if you or anyone in your family shows signs of having eaten
CCA-treated ash.

Ash from CCA-treated timber can be double-bagged, sealed and taken directly to your local landfill.
When removing CCA
treated timber ash, wear protective gloves, disposable overalls, and a P1 or P2 face mask (P2 masks are
sometimes referred to as N95 masks) to minimise exposure to dust. Do not bury CCA treated timber ash.
Contact your local council for advice or requirements.

Part 1: Erect roof trusses
Document the procedures for erect the following types of roof trusses:
 Standard trusses on a gable ended roof
 Dutch gable truss roof
 Hip end trusses
 Valley saddle trusses

Type of truss Procedure

Standard trusses on The erection of gable roofs starts with positioning of each of the end trusses
(generally raking trusses) and supporting them in a plumb and true position by
a gable ended roof
either a temporary brace or attached posts

Following the bracing of each end, a string line should be extended between the
end trusses, from apex to apex. This line is the set out alignment for trusses. To
assemble intermediate trusses, a gauging rod set to spacing can be used with
temporary ties nailed to the top chords of trusses near panel points.
Each truss in turn is positioned, working from the end truss, nailed to position on
wall plates and fixed back to end truss by temporary ties.

For wide spans, longitudinal ties can be used on top of bottom chords alongside
panel points, to provide temporary stability to truss position and alignment.

Erection processes must ensure trusses are aligned initially within the tolerances
Type of truss Procedure
Dutch gable truss roof A Dutch gable roof or gablet roof (in Britain) is a roof with a small gable at the top of
a hip roof. The term Dutch gable is also used to mean a gable with parapets. Some
sources refer to this as a gable-on-hip roof

A Dutch gable roof combines the benefits of both the gable and the hip roof. while
adding additional architectural interest. A drawback of a hip framed roof is its reduced
attic space for a given roof pitch compared to a simple gable roof. In Mediterranean
climates with lower snow loads high roof pitches and their greater consumption of
materials and labor are unnecessary.

Simple gable roofs are also problematic, as the lower low eaves made possible by a
shallow pitched hip roof provide the opportunity for both shade and rain protection in
the form of an overhang or latticed porch. The shade these create keeps a structure
cooler, their covered space is an attractive place for relaxation and escape from heat
trapped inside, and the rain "shadow" created by overhangs greatly reduces the
moisture content of the soil. This inhibits both foundation decay and subterranean
termites common in these areas.
Type of truss Procedure
Hip end trusses
A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards
to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope (although a tented roof by definition is a
hipped roof with steeply pitched slopes rising to a peak). Thus, a hipped roof house
has no gables or other vertical sides to the roof.

Hip roofs are more difficult to construct than a gabled roof, requiring more complex
systems of rafters or trusses. Hip roofs can be constructed on a wide variety of plan
shapes. Each ridge is central over the rectangle of the building below it. The
triangular faces of the roof are called the hip ends, and they are bounded by the hips
themselves. The "hips" and hip rafters sit on an external corner of the building and
rise to the ridge. Where the building has an internal corner, a valley makes the join
between the sloping surfaces. They have the advantage of giving a compact, solid
appearance to a structure. The roof pitch (slope) may vary.
Type of truss Procedure
Valley saddle trusses
Erection of valley (otherwise know as saddle) trusses may be carried out by persons standing on the top or
bottom chords of the existing trusses, provided that:

- the girder truss (or largest span valley truss where there is no girder truss) is installed at the lower
end and braced

- the valley trusses are installed from the girder truss towards the apex and progressively braced

- they stay outside the valley truss no go zone.

 Part 3: Engineered timber
Conduct research on the different types of engineered timber and complete the table.

Provide an overview
of cross laminated
timber (CLT)
is a wood panel product made from gluing together layers of solid-sawn lumber, i.e.,
lumber cut from a single log. Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to
adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way
so that the outer layers have the same orientation. An odd number of layers is most
common, but there are configurations with even numbers as well (which are then
arranged to give a symmetric configuration). Regular timber is an anisotropic material,
meaning that the physical properties change depending on the direction at which the
force is applied. By gluing layers of wood at right angles, the panel is able to achieve
better structural rigidity in both directions. It is similar to plywood but with distinctively
thicker laminations (or lamellae).

Provide an overview Glued laminated timber, also abbreviated glulam, is a type of structural engineered
wood product constituted by layers of dimensional lumber bonded together with
of glued laminated durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives. In North America, the material
timber (GLT) providing the laminations is termed laminating stock or lamstock.

Provide an overview is an engineered wood product that uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with
adhesives. It is typically used for headers, beams, rimboard, and edge-forming
of laminated veneer material. LVL offers several advantages over typical milled lumber: Made in a factory
timber (LVT) under controlled specifications, it is stronger, straighter, and more uniform. Due to its
composite nature, it is much less likely than conventional lumber to warp, twist, bow, or
shrink. LVL is a type of structural composite lumber, comparable to Glued laminated
timber (Gluelam) but with a higher allowable stress.

Discuss the All the advantages and benefits of laminated veneer lumber explains the manufacturing
process consisting of several stages. The most common material for the laminated
advantages of LVT veneer lumber — pine and spruce, rarely used larch and cedar. In the first step the logs
into planks dissolving the required size and thoroughly dried. Their moisture content is
significantly lower, because in contrast to the massive solid timber boards much easier
to dry. The material was then tested for the presence of visible defects and damaged
areas were removed.
