2-5 truss Check all the trusses against dwg to see if there’s any damage or fragment. Contact with manufacturer in case of any problem found with the truss to avoid any structural problem on the product. Damaged trusses (photo left) should not be used and reported to the truss fabricator for a resolve Quality issues (photo right) should be reported to the truss fabricator for a resolve Under no circumstance is a truss to be cut. Cutting reduces the integrity * Metal connector tie is a common practice installed in addition to nailing * Alternative type of connector tie * 3 generated reports: Engineering (e.g for the Design Institute and Inspectors); Production (or “shop”) along with an enlarged drawing showing plate positioning An example of another type of truss manufacturing equipment called a “C-Press” (Clamp Press) * Be sure this is enough space for proper truss storage. Keep trusses covered with tarps and away from soil And supported at all joints Zhabei the building image from GTGP 11 illustrated as stud framed ready for the application of wall sheathing (OSB as shown in the photo lower right) Exterior walls are 2x6 (bearing) and the interior walls are 2x4 (non-load bearing) Exterior walls fully sheathed; measurements for truss locations to start from 2 sides (in accordance with the truss layout drawing) Measurements always taken from face-of-stud (not the sheathing) Follow the truss placement layout drawing for truss locations and mark location and truss label on top of the plate Note: exterior walls MUST BE BRACED before loading trusses on top of the walls! first truss is the Gable (braced) and followed with one Common truss and secured in-place with 2x4 Lookout blocking (explain “Gable Overhang” and see next slide); Common Girder is necessary to position in order to support Common trusses as there is no bearing wall or support beam (Girder is designed as a 3 ply in order to support the intersecting trusses); and other Gable end can be started (also braced)
