Timber Roof Structure Elements

What is pitched roof.

Timber roof structure elements.

A top plate is nailed to the top of wall studs. A roof also beautify a house but the primary purpose of a roof is to protect against any form of weather. The highly complex three dimensional structure of the timber inner dome was formed using parametric design techniques. It supports the roof load and helps transfer it down load bearing walls and into the foundations.

A roof is the uppermost parts of any building which give protection against animals and most especially weather be it rain snow sunlight heat wind and so on. We know that the roofs are generally provided at top to cover and protect the structure from different weather conditions. Roof trusses can be said to be the skeleton of the roof as you known the skeleton produce the shape of animals even humans. Pitched roof is a type of roof which is provided with some slope as structure covering.

Roof elements were maximum factory fitted and already covered with roll materials at the factory only sealing of joints took place at the building site. The supporting structures of the building are reinforced concrete and the roof elements are based on laminated timber beams. The top level roof has a crippled stanchion construction on also the third floor and is supported on the roof floor. Pitched roofs are generally used where rainfall is heavy.

The timber roof and wall elements are cavity insulated with the inner and outer faces of the timber members clad with panels of oriented strand board. This is the plate that the roofing elements sit on and effectively the meeting point of the walls and the roof structure.
