The document discusses four types of roof trusses: quadrangular trusses which have parallel chords and tension diagonals, north light roof trusses which have a wide arrangement of lattice girders, raised heel roof trusses which improve energy efficiency and attic ventilation, and scissor roof trusses where the bottom chords cross forming an open pair of scissors.

Quadrangular Truss

The quadrangular trusses are the types of roof truss


that are having parallel chords and organising of web members of compression verticals and tension
diagonals. It is for the most part experienced in auditoriums or railway sheds.

North Light Roof Truss

This types of roof truss have a wide arrangement of


lattice girders that incorporate support trusses. North light truss is the most established, and most
affordable sort of truss. These are found in drawing rooms, industrial buildings and huge spaces, with
a span of 20 to 30 m.

Raised Heel Roof Truss

This types of roof truss gives a savvy approach to meet


more rigid energy proficiency codes and further develop the energy effectiveness of your building
envelope. Raising the truss higher significantly improves on attic ventilation and it leaves sufficient
space for insulation above outside wall top plates

Scissor Roof Truss

In this types of roof truss the bottom chord members


cross one another, associating with the calculated top chords at a point intermediate on the top
chords’ length, making an appearance like an opened pair of scissors. A scissor truss accommodates
a vaulted ceiling in similar time span as standard trusses. Cathedral is perhaps the best illustration of
this sort of truss.
