Steel truss design and construction involves more than simply resisting imposed loads. This presentation will provide insights into the design and construction of floor and roof trusses, covering unique load considerations like rigging, operable partitions and maintenance vehicles that are often required in facilities with long-span framing. Truss deflection and vibration considerations will also be discussed. Attendees will learn about shipping limitations, splice locations, welding and bolting in the shop and field, the pros and cons of changing chord sizes and erection considerations.
