(a)

Code states: (i) l/r>180: l/b>52

(ii) Effectivelength l = 0.8 x distsnce between nodes.
(iii) c.a < c.adm

BS5268 Rafter maximum force = 9.33kN

Table 9 Try a 150x50mm joist
c=6.8x1.25 = 8.5N/mm
LEX = 0.8 x 785 = 628mm: LEX/rxx LEX/b
LEX/b=628/50= 12.56
E/c= Emin/c= 6000/8.5=706: K12=0.326
c,adm = c x k12 = 8.5x0.326=2.77N/mm
Therefore c,a = 9.334 x10/ (150x50) = 1.245N/mm

Deflection of truss

OK in deflection

bA simple empherical formula for deflection of symmetrical flat & pitched

trusses:

L/4290H* (L/26.6 + 1)
where L = span of truss: H = height at midspan
There for = 8.8/(4290x 3.8)* (8.8/26.6 + 1 ) = 0.00632m = 6.32mm
Allowable = 0.003l= 0.003 x 8.8x 10 = 26.4mm
Allowable > actual: satisfactory
