SAFETY

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TRUSS LOADS:


Trusses are engineered to carry specific loads and are a critical part of the designing process. There are two main categories, Live Loads and Dead Loads.


Dead Loads are permanent loads applied to the structure. Some examples would be roof and ceiling materials, purlins, bracing, air conditioning and heating units, sprinkler systems and partition walls.


Live Loads are loads or short duration, such as those caused by construction, rain, wind, snow, maintenance and occupancy of the structure.

There are also concentrated loads, which are applied at one specific point on a truss, such as an air conditioner hung from a truss. It is important that your truss manufacturer is aware of any special loads such as this example so trusses can be designed to meet the proper load requirements.



Other Special Conditions:

Some other special conditions that are important to know for truss designing are high moisture or temperature conditions, use of trusses to transfer wind load, higher roofs that may cause additional snow loads on lower roofs and job site conditions that may cause rough handling of the trusses during installation.

The loading requirements should be specified by the customer, builder or building designer. Minimum load requirements are specified by local and state building codes.
