GAMBREL ROOF ARCHES FOR FARM AND STORAGE BUILDINGS H.A. Jackson and J.E. Turnbull Structures and Environment Section, Engineering and Statistical Research Institute, Research Branch, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, Ontario KIA 0C6 Received 5 September 1978 Jackson, H.A. and J.E. Turnbull. 1979. Gambrel roof arches for farm and storage buildings. Can. Agric. Eng. 21: 47-51. A computer program was developed to design a family of traditionally shaped gambrel roof 3-hinged arches for low human occupancy farm buildings. Upper and lower rafters were sized for minimum waste using stock dimension lumber, spruce or Douglas fir, spaced 600 mm o.c, giving clear spans from 6 to 21.6 m. The program sets rafter lengths and slopes within specified slope limits, and tabulates for each nominal rafter size,specieand grade, the limiting safe design snow and wind loads. Designsare based on rafter moments and axial forces resulting from climatic loads combined with dead loads according to the National Building Code of Canada (1977). Connections are nailed plywood gussets similar to Canada Plan Service trusses. The complete family of arches are now detailed in 52 plan sheets, complete with tabulated dimensions, member sizes, nailing specifications, safe climatic loads and foundation reaction forces.
