UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO STUDENT CENTRE ROOF (timber)
Moscow - Idaho, USA |
Maximum economy achieved with flat chord trusses with steel rod verticals and steel to wood notch connections for the diagonals. |
This double gymnasium roof structure is framed with one of the most economical wood truss system available. The Parallam flat chord trusses use through rod verticals and steel notch connections concealed within the saddle brackets, eliminating the need for heavily loaded, costly bolted connections. The Student Centre common space areas features Parallam tree shapes and purlins, and scissor trusses over the main axis corridor, which feature bolt and side plate connections to meet the architectural aesthetic requirements. |
