Kirk Grundahl, executive director of the Wood Truss Council of America ( WTCA ), Madison, Wisconsin, asserts owners can be warranted their roof trusses are engineered to exacting design standards across the nation since manufacturers must meet the standards set by WTCA and the Truss Plate Institute ( TPI ). ‘Because each one of the roof trusses are engineered, it literally takes into consideration all the forces acting on the truss from gravity loads to wind loads, seismic loads, and uplift loads,’ O’Connor says. Trusses have many pluses, including their overall strength, ability to be placed quick, and span capability. Since they are built from shorter lengths of lumber, roof truss systems are typically more cost-effective to build than roofs with conventional framing.
Trusses are built to span bigger distances than conventionally framed roofs. Since they broadcast weight from the roof to the exterior walls, not one of the interior walls must be load bearing. This opens up interior space and allows for many interior design options.
