This system consists of a girder truss corner girder corner jacks and end jacks.
Hip roof girder truss.
Wood is a common construction material for girder systems.
Hip roofs can provide structural strength advantages over gabled roofs in hurricane zones.
There will be step down trusses from the girder truss to the peak.
The jack truss runs right into the hip truss.
It is similar to a half truss but has an extended top chord.
At the peak common trusses are used to complete the run.
Just like the hip truss it has an extended top chord which meets the hip truss.
Hip trusses building a sub girder hip.
This extends over the truncated girder truss and finishes as the top of the hip.
The girder truss can be built by joining multiple single support elements.
Sub girders are the partial trusses that butt into the doubled truss at the end of the main run.
The girder truss on each end of the main roof must support the weight of the hip roof element on each side.
Hip truss this forms the hip line of the roof.
Connection of jack creeper and hip trusses at a hip end roof for design wind speed n1 n2 n3 or c1 shall be in accordance with the details shown.
Hip sets are used to construct hip roofs which are roofs that slope from all sides.
These details are suitable for a maximum truncated girder station of 3600mm.
