Moment Frame Pitched Roof

Robin is working on an extension so we thought we d shadow him for the day and see how he creates a pitched roof or semi pitched roof leading up to a flat.

Moment frame pitched roof.

The pitch of a roof is its vertical rise divided by its horizontal span and is a measure of its steepness. To frame this style roof hip trusses are utilized from the main peak of the building stepping down with a flat top chord. In this design each side of the building has a roof pitch and eave. However in practise they tend to be much shallower commonly being expressed as a gradient and can be anywhere from 1 40 to 1 80.

Pitched roof is a type of roof which is provided with some slope as structure covering. Mono the mono roof is a single very low pitched roof used mostly on contemporary homes. The anatomy of a steel portal frame can be broken down into four key in plane components. When using a truss 1 roof the framing process.

D connections between rafter and column eave joints and splice in the rafter at apex apex joint. We know that the roofs are generally provided at top to cover and protect the structure from different weather conditions. The flat portion is increased the nearer the truss is to the end wall. The roof pitch is typically set to 5 10º with portalised bays at 6 8m centres longitudinally.

A hip set is then used to frame the 6 or 8 feet nearest the end wall. If buildings are constructed with some limited width then also we can go for pitched roofs.
