2 Non-Conforming Specifications All other truss bracing required during the erection or in the completed structure including the bracing connections to trusses and bracing anchorage is the responsibility of the Truss Designer & should be clearly denoted on the Truss Design Drawings. Truss Manufacturer is also responsible for supplying all bracing & connections. Non-Conforming Specifications The Truss Designer is solely responsible for the safety & stability of the roof system & its component parts during erection. This includes the addition of whatever shoring, temporary bracing, guys or tiedowns, which might be necessary. 7 8 Non-Conforming Specifications The Truss Designer needs to provide a letter of verification that trusses are installed & braced properly. The Truss Designer must design all beams & headers. The Truss Designer must provide sealed Placement Diagrams. Development 9 10 Development Quiz

5 Diagonal Bracing Structural member installed at an angle to a Truss chord or web member and intended to temporarily and/or permanently stabilize Truss Members and/or Trusses. For further information see BCSI. Framing Structural System The completed combination of Structural Elements, Trusses, connections and other systems, which serve to support the Building's self weight, the specified loads Jurisdiction The Governmental unit that is responsible for adopting and enforcing the Building Code. Lateral Restraint Also known as Continuous Lateral Restraint or CLR. A structural member installed at right angles to a chord or web member of a Truss to reduce the laterally unsupported length of the Truss member Legal Requirements Applicable provisions of all statutes, laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, or orders of any governmental authority. Owner A person having a legal or equitable interest in the property upon which a Building is to be constructed, and: (1) either prepares, or retains the Building Designer or Registered Design Professional to prepare, the Construction Documents; and (2) either constructs, or retains the Contractor to construct the Building

6 Permanent Building Stability Bracing Lateral force resisting system for the Building that resists forces from gravity, wind, seismic and/or other loads. Permanent Individual Truss Member Restraint Restraint that is used to prevent local buckling of an individual Truss chord or web member due to the axial forces in the individual Truss member Person An individual or organization that may exist in accordance with the Legal Requirements. Registered Design Professional Architect or engineer, who is licensed to practice their respective design profession as defined by the Legal Requirements of the Jurisdiction in which the Building is to be constructed Structural Element A single structural member (other than a Truss) that is specified in the Construction Documents. Temporary Installation Restraint/Bracing Lateral Restraint and Diagonal Bracing installed during construction for the purposes of holding Trusses in their proper location, plumb and in plane, until Permanent Individual Truss Member Restraint, Diagonal Bracing and Permanent Building Stability Bracing are completely installed

7 Truss An individual metal plate connected wood component manufactured for the construction of a Building. Truss Design Drawing Written, graphic and pictorial depiction of an individual Truss that includes the information required in Sections and Discussed Further in Section Truss Design Engineer A person who is licensed to practice engineering as defined by the Legal Requirements of the Jurisdiction in which the Building is to be constructed and who supervises the preparation of the Truss Design Drawings. Truss Designer The person responsible for the preparation of the Truss Design Drawings. Truss Technician Truss Technician It is important to understand that Truss Technicians do not performing engineering design work. They specify design parameters such as: Dimensions Lumber species & grades Load duration factors Truss Manufacturer Person or entity engaged in the manufacturing of Trusses

8 Truss Placement Diagram An illustration supplied at times by the Truss Manufacturer identifying the assumed location for each Truss. Truss Submittal Package Package consisting of each individual Truss Design Drawing, and, as applicable, the Truss Placement, the Cover/Truss Index Sheet, Lateral Restraint and Diagonal Bracing details designed in accordance with generally accepted engineering practice, applicable BCSI-defined Lateral Restraint and Diagonal Bracing details, and any other structural details germane to the Trusses Truss Technician vs. Engineer Quiz 2 TTT1 Sec 03 Handouts How the Truss Industry Practices Engineering Truss Manufacturer (TM) can provide sealed Truss Design Drawings (TDD) in one of two ways: 1. By employing a PE, or 2. By contracting with a company that provides professional truss design engineering services PE Employed by the TM Truss design work is typically performed by truss technicians that work directly for the Truss Design Engineer (TDE) All TDDs are reviewed, revised, approved & sealed by the TDE

9 PE Employed via Contract Typically the contract is with the truss plate & truss design software companies Specific design parameters provided by the Building Designer are communicated from the TM to the contracted TDE. TDE inputs these design parameters, analyzes & undertakes the truss design TDE has complete control over the design settings. Logical (Ideal) Design/Build Process 1) Owner hires a design team to undertake the architectural & structural design 2) Structural design team decides to use trusses & gets the TM involved during the project design phase Logical (Ideal) Design/Build Process 3) Trusses are designed per the loading requirements provided by the Registered Design Professional (RDP) for the project 4) Completed TDDs are provided to the RDP who takes this information & designs the transfer of loads to the structure below Permanent bracing design is also completed at this time Logical (Ideal) Design/Build Process 5) Contractor takes the completed set of plans & implements them 6) Building Official performs an inspection to ensure that all involved in the project have not missed a detail that needed to be installed Typical Process 1) $$$$$ is the main issue 2) Owner bypasses the RDP & just hires a General Contractor (GC) 3) GC gets bids from a variety of TMs of varying expertise & chooses the cheapest Typical Process 4) Plans & specifications for the project are highly variable with respect to completeness & detail 5) Truss Manufacturer is asked to: make them work structurally, define the loads (if not defined), & make sure that the building as designed meets the expectations of everyone involved

10 Truss Design Drawing The standard contract that the TM makes is for the individual trusses May or may not require sealing Truss Placement Diagram TTBPLACE-D Truss Placement Diagram Truss Placement Diagram Sample Disclaimer The Truss Designer s signature certifies that the individual truss designs are based on the positioning shown, and that the dimensions and loads shown on the referenced drawings match that positioning. The Truss Designer s seal on the attached Truss Design Drawings indicates acceptance of professional engineering responsibility solely for the individual Truss Design Drawings shown. The suitability and use of this component for any particular building is the responsibility of the Building Designer, per ANSI/TPI Chapter 2. No building design or inspection is implied by the seals on the Truss Design Drawings or Truss Placement Diagram. Verification that position, dimensions, and loads for each truss matches the construction design documents and/or intent is the responsibility of the Building Designer. The Truss Designer is responsible for the correct application of the specified loading provided to him by the Building Designer and for the truss to truss connections. The Truss Designer is NOT responsible for: The transfer of lateral load from the roof to the shear walls, connection of trusses to the bearing support, the design of the bearing supports, temporary and permanent building bracing required in the roof and/or floor system, transfer of vertical loads down to the foundation, the design of the foundation and soil, analysis of the roof and/or floor diaphragms of the building, connection of roof and/or floor diaphragm to the truss, specifying loading used in the design of the trusses. The Building Designer shall ascertain that the loads utilized on the Truss Design Drawings meet or exceed the loading imposed by the building code Truss Placement Diagram sbcindustry.com Technical Info Tech Notes Continuous lateral bracing Seals and Truss Placement Diagrams Jobsite handling and installation Mandated RDP ANSI/TPI Chapter 2, Section REQUIREMENTS OF THE OWNER REQUIREMENTS OF THE REGISTERED DESIGN PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PERMANENT MEMBER RESTRAINT/ BRACING OF TRUSS SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS OF THE TRUSS DESIGN ENGINEER REQUIREMENTS OF THE TRUSS MANUFACTURER
