    The client wants to build parallel chord trusses without plating at the apex connection. The trusses will be made of 3" or 2" HAT profile steel between 18-16 gauge. They want confirmation that stamping this type of truss formation is acceptable for future projects, as their software analysis shows it can withstand snow loads up to 120psf and winds over 130mph. Additional feedback is requested on the strength and behavior of the notched bottom chord under these specified loads at the apex connection.

    Truss Connection at Apex.

    Client is asking for this type of


    formation of parallel chord
    trusses and does not wish to do
    any plating.
    These trusses will be in 3” HAT or
    2” Hat profile, 18Ga or 16Ga.

    The Scottsteel software seems to


    pass this formation of parallel
    chord truss. Would you agree with
    stamping these type of trusses,
    for any of our future projects?

    Trusses to be subjected to snow


    load of 80-120psf and wind speed
    above 130mph.

    Additionally, can you share your


    thoughts on this type of
    connection and how would the
    notched bottom chord behave
    when subjected to the specified
    loads?
