BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING AND ROOF DESING, DESIGN OF THE ROOF TRUSS, REFLECTED CEILING PLAN TO INDICATE THE LOAD IMPOSED AND CONNECTION DETAILS OF THE TRUSS WERE REQUIRED TO PRESENT IN AN A2 BOARD.
UPON COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT, I HAVE EXPLORED AND APPLIED UNDERSTANDING OF LOAD DISTRIBUTION IN A TRUSS AND ABLE TO EVALUATE AND IDENTIFY TENSION AND COMPRESSION MEMBERS IN A TRUSS STRUCTURE, THROUGH THIS ASSIGNMENT, I HAVE ALSO EXPLORED DIFFREENT ARRANGEMENT OF MEMBERS IN A TRUSS STRUCTURE.
