Flowchart It is recommended that design starts
at the roof and works down to the foundation.
Although the flowchart on page 17 tells us to-
1. Determine wind classification.2. Consider the bracing and tie-down
details. We will leave wind classification to the
structures teachers Consider bracing details after roof and
wall design.

Let’s start.
Remember- throughout this module we will consider Coupled roofs
With single row of underpurlin. Without ridge struts

CalculationsIf you look at the supplement tables you see that you need to determine
Spacing of members Spans- single or continuous Ceiling load widths CLW Roof area supported Roof load widths RLW Rafter span Rafter overhang
![Page 16: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Calculations
Spacing of members such as ceiling joists are measured centre to centre or “in to over"
![Page 17: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Member sizes
Remember: The flow chart dictates that we first- Determine the wind classification Consider position and extent of wind bracing
and tie downs
Let us assume-1. That wind classification for all our exercises
is N32. There is sufficient room for bracing and tie-
downs
![Page 18: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Preliminary calculations
Some calculations are required before we have sufficient data to use the span tables
![Page 19: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Preliminary calculations
You MUST have a scientific calculator. You only need to be able to do very
basic trigonometry. You must be able to use Pythagoras
theorem. You need to be able to perform basic
algebra
![Page 20: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Preliminary calculations
What do we mean by the term ‘true length of rafter’?
We need to be able to calculate the true length of the rafter so that we can determine such things as-
The span of the common rafter RLW Rafter overhangs Areas supported
![Page 21: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Trigonometry Comes from the Greek words ‘Trigon’
meaning triangle and ‘metre’ meaning to measure.
Trigonometry is based on right angled (900 )
triangles. It involves finding an unknown length or
angle, given that we know a length or an angle or various combination of known and unknown data.
We will also use the “Pythagoras” theorem
![Page 22: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Trig ratios
The 3 basic trig ratios are Sine (sin) Cosine (cos) Tangent (tan)
![Page 23: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Trigonometry
The ratios are related to parts of the right angled triangle
The ‘Hypotenuse’ is always the longest side and is opposite the right angle.
The other two sides are either the ‘opposite’ or the ‘adjacent’ depending on which angle is being considered.
![Page 24: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Trigonometry
Sin =opposite ÷ hypotenuse Cos = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse Tan = opposite ÷ adjacent
OR S= O÷H C= A÷H T= O÷A
![Page 25: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Trigonometry
Some students remember this by
forming the words- SOH CAH TOA Or by remembering
Some Old Hounds
Can’t Always Hide
Their Old Age
![Page 26: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
The Pythagoras theorem
The square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
Or A2 = b2 + c2
![Page 27: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Roofing calculations.
If we know the roof pitch. And the run of the rafter. We will use the term RUN of rafter
rather than half span. We can use trigonometry and
Pythagoras to find the true length of the rafter
And it’s overhang.
![Page 28: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

NOTE! We are not calculating an ordering
length. We require the length from ridge to
birdsmouth. You may know this as the set out length We need to find the Eaves overhang
separately
![Page 30: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Problem
Calculate the true length of the rafter Pitch is 270
Run of rafter is 4000
![Page 31: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Example:Method 1. (using Tan) Trade students may be more comfortable with
this method Find the Rise per metre of C.Raft Find the True length per metre of C.Raft Multiply TLPM x Run= True length of rafter.
![Page 32: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Method 1. (using Tan)
Rise per metre run = Tan 270
= 0.5095= 0.510
T.L. per metre CR = √ R2 + 12
= √ 0.5102 + 12
= √ 1.260
= 1.122m T.L.C.R. = T.L per metre X run
= 1.122x 4.0
= 4.489m
![Page 33: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Method 2. Using Cosine (Cos)
Pitch is 270
The run is 4.0m
Cos 270 = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse= run ÷ rafter length
Rafter length = run ÷ cos 270
= 4.0 ÷ 0.8910
= 4.489m
![Page 34: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

35
True length of eaves overhang.
Firstly you must be aware of the difference between eave width and eaves overhang.
For a brick veneer building with an eaves width of 450mm; the actual width to the timber frame is 450 + 150mm for brick and cavity = 600mm
![Page 36: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

37
True length of eaves overhang.
The true length of the eaves overhang is the measurement ‘on the rake’ from
the ‘x y’ line to the back of the fascia along the top edge of the rafter.
It can be calculated the same way you calculate you calculated the rafter length
![Page 38: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Span of the common rafter.
The ‘Span of the rafter’ is the actual distance on the rake between points of support.
![Page 41: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Span of the common rafter.
Span of rafter is the true length of the rafter divided by 2
That is:- from our previous example= 4.489 ÷ 2
= 2.245m
![Page 43: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Student exercises 3.
Calculate the span of the common rafter for the 3 roof pitches from previous exercise.
![Page 44: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Exercises (calculate span) Pitch 370 , Run 3.750m 4.696m / 2 = 2.348m Pitch 230 , Run 4.670m 5.073m / 2 = 2.537m Pitch 19.50 , Run 2.550m 2.705m / 2 = 1.353m
![Page 45: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Fan struts
We can make more economical use of underpurlin by using fan struts.
The fan strut does not increase the allowable span of the underpurlin.
It enables the points of support (walls or strutting beams) to be further apart
![Page 46: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Fan struts
To estimate the spread of the fan strut we make 3 assumptions
1. The underpurlin is in the centre of the rafter length.
2. The plane of the fan strut is fixed perpendicular to the rafter.
3. The fans are at 450

53
Fan struts (use Tan)
The formula is- ½ spread of the fan struts= Span of rafter x tan angle of pitch For our previous example = 2.245 x 0.510 (tan 27 deg.) = 1.142m
![Page 54: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Fan struts
Therefore distance apart of strutting points for a given u/purlin can be increased by 1.142m using a fan strut at one end of the underpurlin span.
Distance apart of strutting points can be increased by 2.284m using a fan strut at both ends of the underpurlin span.
![Page 55: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Supplement Tables
Once the preliminary calculations have been done we can start to use the span tables in the supplement
But which supplement????
![Page 56: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Using supplement tables
Firstly you must choose the correct supplement (see page 3 of the standard)
Depends on wind classification, stress grade and species of timber
Then choose the applicable table within the supplement (see list of tables page 3 of the supplement)
![Page 57: 1 Timber Framing Code. INTRO TO ROOFING and PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649c4d5503460f948f2b4c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Class Exercise-
Notice that in the last exercise the RLW, Rafter spacing and required span of lintel were all values included in the table.
What if the RLW is 3300 or the rafters are spaced at 500mm or the lintel needs to span 2.250m?
WE need to INTERPOLATE

Interpolation Simply put, to interpolate is ‘To estimate a
value between known values’. It is not possible to show every span or
spacing related to member sizes. Convenient regular increments are used. Linear interpolation is allowed for
calculation of intermediate values.

Cross multiplication
Before we start doing interpolation calcs.
You need to be conversant with a mathematical procedure called cross multiplication.

Cross multiplication
In an “equation” such as A = C
B D we can cross multiply so that A x D = B x C Same as the ration A:B::C:D

Class Exercise
If RLW is now 3.300 Rafters still at 600 Required span 2.100
We need to interpolate between two columns to find the most economical section size.

Class Exercise
Run your fingers down the 3000m column and the 4500m column for 600 spacing.
We can tell that 2/140x35 will probably span.
