ABSTRACT:
A roof truss featuring an upper chord segment at its apex which segment is not installed until final erection of prefabricated building allows "over the road" load height reduction in transport of building. Making steeper pitch roofs feasible allows use of relatively smaller truss members. A longitudinal flat member lying at right angles to trusses and attaching to tops of lower chords at midspan between panel points stiffens lower chords against ceiling deflection and also serves as an attic catwalk. Final erection installation of upper chord segment and the small portion of roofing overlying same, permits concealment of structural attachment method utilized to join two half-buildings and a finished appearance results.
