Triangular Roof Truss

A mono truss roof allows for more sunlight and visual space proper drainage and relatively cheaper.

Triangular roof truss.

A roof truss consists of one or more triangular units constructed of straight pieces that are connected at the ends by joints. The triangular shape of the truss adds stability and support by distributing weight away from the exterior walls. A truss is a structure made up of triangles. This type of truss is seen in a framed roof consisting of rafters and a ceiling joist and in other mechanical structures such as bicycles and aircraft.

Each roof truss has pros and cons and it must be designed to suit specific conditions and purposes. Trusses are typically modelled in triangular shapes built up of diagonal members vertical members and horizontal members. Timber roof trusses may be used in commercial applications but they are generally used for residential. A mono truss is a one sloped truss that forms a right angle triangle.

The typical truss is recognizable by its triangular shape and is most often used in roof construction. It s often used for sheds garages or extension of an existing roof. There are three main reasons that triangles are used to form trusses. Because of the stability of this shape and the methods of analysis used to calculate the forces within it a truss composed entirely of triangles is known as a simple truss.

The simplest form of a truss is one single triangle. Trusses are commonly used to provide support for roofs bridges and other expansive structures.
