Jack Scab is small or partial truss attached, or scabbed to a truss to change or repair the truss. Truss loads are expressed as live and dead loads. Level Return is a lumber filler attached to the end of the overhang running horizontal to the wall to form a soffit.
Live Loads are those short duration loads produced by the construction, maintenance, wind, and occupancy of the structure. Metal Connector Plates have integral teeth, are manufactured in various grades and sizes, are pressed into the truss members to connect the members forming the truss.
Pitch is the angle of the roof described as Inches of Rise over Inches of Run. Scab is addition lumber or truss attached by nailing to a truss to add strength to or repair the truss. Strap ties a truss to bearing to resist seismic of wind force. Strap or clip tie down in used Florida. Chambers Truss does not provide tie down straps. Normally applied to a floor truss the Strongback can help a roof truss.
Usually placed against a vertical web the Strongback adds rigidity and uniformity to a truss system. Sub-Fascia is the rough flat lumber surface at the end of the overhang or end of the truss on which the fascia is applied.
Tension Member is a truss member that is resisting tension, or pulling. Truss flat bottom chords are in tension. Triangle is a 3 sided plane geometric shape.
The triangle is the only rigid geometric shapes. Trusses are based on the rigid triangle. Truss Metal Connected Wood Truss is an engineered structural component made of lumber and metal connector plates. Click on Truss Diagram to see the parts of a truss.

Price Achievement in Housing award winner. Deacom, Inc. The software is fully compatible with the industry's leading engineering programs, allowing truss builders to easily integrate manufacturing, billing, inventory, labor tracking, and purchasing.
Ward, Southern Components, Inc. This resolution is an important step in uniting allied industry organizations to work toward greater public understanding of the economic and environmental benefits of using metal plate connected wood trusses, I-joists and other manufactured wood components, and to oppose the restriction or banning of these products due to misunderstanding of their performance characteristics under the siege of fire.
The show hosts over 1, attendees representing component manufacturer companies. Hall of Fame Inductee: John R. The primary emphasis of SBCC is to create the best possible knowledge base with which to solve problems and create opportunities for the component industry.
WTCA was asked to be involved in the committee to provide a voice on behalf of its members. Hall of Fame Inductee: Thomas J. Manenti, MiTek Industries, Inc. A new employee recruitment brochure for the component industry entitled Is Building Component Design for You? Advanced Design Technology ADT and Viking Engineering announced that they were joining forces as a strong wall panel equipment provider in October of this year.
A small group of structural component distributors formed the Structural Component Distributors Association SCDA to represent the interests of companies that distribute structural components.
He was a pioneer in supplying low cost connector plates, unbundled from engineering. Jobsite Safety Package was created. Habitat for Humanity set a new world record for the fastest home built in three hours, 26 minutes and 34 seconds. The project used roof trusses and wall panels.
Numerous format changes enhance the BCMC experience for exhibitors and attendees: targeted educational sessions, free lunch for attendees and an improved show floor layout. On April 30, the Florida truss regulation 61G It clarified the previous section of Florida law, added a cover or index sheet process that reduces the time and related expenses associated with truss design process in Florida.
This change to the use of a concise cover sheet makes it quick and easy for building officials to find all of the project information they need to undertake plan review. WTCA publications can now be ordered online.
TATO 2 became available. Pocket QC was introduced. Bernard Boilen passed away at the age of He was a pioneer in producing and supplying low cost connector plate, unbundled from engineering.
Phil Luneack Bear Truss died at the age of The Truss Plate Institute, Inc. TPI appointed Michael A. Record number of new exhibitors: The segment was produced by Broadcast News Corporation. BCMC registrations became available online. WTCA redesigned its website. Ronnie Wright passed away at the age of He was known for his innovative heavy-duty roller presses. He was committed to quality and durability. Cal Jureit inventor of the Gang-Nail connector plate passed away at the age of He assisted in the development of TPI and held over 60 patents throughout his lifetime.
Robert Mort passed away at the age of He served two terms as president of TPI and BCMC celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a record breaking show. The award is named in honor of the late Dick Bowman, a long-time BCMC and SBC Magazine salesman, whose enthusiasm and support of the component industry epitomized the views and goals of the industry. The goal of Tech Notes is to clarify code issues and help educate the marketplace for structural building component manufacturers.
Developed in partnership with WTCA chapters , Tech Notes address pertinent issues and offer peer- reviewed position statements to some frequently asked questions that component manufacturers face on a daily basis. It is recommended that all persons associated with the installation process read and adhere to the recommendations of this publication to help prevent injury to themselves, other workers and property.
Do not use or repair damaged trusses without professional consultation with the Architect, Engineer or Truss Designer. Trusses may be installed manually, by crane, or by forklift, depending on truss size, wall height and job conditions.
Individual trusses should always be carried vertically to avoid lateral strain and damage to joints and members. Trusses installed manually are slid into position over the sidewall and rotated into place using poles. The longer the span, the more workers needed to avoid excessive lateral strain on the trusses. Trusses should be supported at joints and the peak while being raised. Large trusses should be installed by a crane or forklift employing chokers, slings, spreader bars and strong-backs to prevent lateral bending.
Trusses may be lifted singly, in banded groups, or preassembled in groups. Installation procedures are the responsibility of the installer. Job conditions and procedures vary considerably. These are only guidelines and may not be proper under all conditions.
Truss top chords are generally in compression. When subjected to compressive stress, wood members can buckle. The longer and more slender the member is, the less compressive force it takes to buckle.
In lumber, the compressive strength is measured by the Fc value. When subjected to tensile stress, wood members can elongate. Truss bottom chords are normally in tension. In lumber, tension strength is measured by the Ft value.
Horizontal shear occurs along the grain, causing fibers to slide over each other. In lumber, horizontal shear strength is measured by the Fv value. Bending occurs between supports when lumber is subjected to loads. Bending strength is measured by the Fb value of the lumber. An example of compression perpendicular to grain is the bottom chord sitting on the support. It is necessary that the bottom chord lumber area be sufficient to prevent side grain crushing.
Lumber's resistance to crushing is rated by the Fc value. An example of vertical shear occurs at the inside of the truss support. Wood is stronger in vertical shear than horizontal shear. Since a vertical shearing force produces both vertical and horizontal shear stresses, wood will fail in horizontal shear instead of vertical shear.
