repair detail
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I'm looking for the design of a repair detail for a timber truss roof. The internal cord has been cut out and now needs to be re-instated.
The axial loads for the member are -4.5kn
The member cut is shown on the pdf attached.
I suggest a bolted connection using M10 8.8 bolts through C16 timbers to each side of the left over section of the cord. Alternatively a splice connection detail could be specified.
The installer would prefer not to have a gusset connection at the gang nail places due to the health and safety implication of removing the left over cord from the joint while working above it.
Please specify what solution you would use and what software (if any) you will provide the data in.
