INTRODUCTION
Purlin: - These are horizontal wooden or a steel members laid on principal rafters on
wall to wall to support common rafters of a roof when the span is large.
Truss: A roof truss is a framework of triangles designed to support the roof covering
r ceiling over rooms. The use of interior column is avoided.
Span: The clear distance between the supports of an arch, beam or roof truss is
called span. Whereas horizontal distance between centre of supports is called
effective span.
Rise of roof: - It is the vertical distance between the wall plate and the top of the
ridge.
Common rafter: - These are intermediate inclined wooden member laid over the
purlins from the ridge to eaves. They are used to roof support to the covering.

The roof structure should be strong and stable so that it can take
up anticipated load safety
The roof should be durable against adverse effect of element like
rain, snow, sun, wind, etc.
It should have efficient water-proofing.
It should have good drainage system.
The roof provide desired insulation against heat and sound.
The roof should offers an adequate of fire resistance.

2. Flat or Terrace Roof: - A roof which is nearly flat ( i.e., angle to the
horizontal less than 10 degree) is knows as flat roof.
It should be noted that no roof can be laid perfectly level.
The flat room are normal laid at a slope of 1:2 to 1:6, sloping in one or more
direction from centre, to drain water efficiently and smoothly.
The following are the importance points to be related to
consider for flat roof:
The flat roof are constructed in flag stones, reinforced cement concrete,
reinforced brick work, jack arch roof or precast cement concrete units.

Dome has double curvature and the resulting structure is much stiffer
and stronger than a single curved surface, such as a barrel shells.
CONCLUSION
The smaller the element, the more easily it adapts to the structure.
Good quality timber is desirable but wood is getting scarce and
expensive.
The stresses within the roofing element are dependent on its
dimensions and how it is fixed.
In this respect the roofing tile seems to have an advantage compared
with the roofing sheet.
