Structural Analysis of Unistrut Space-Frame Roofs
Part B: Tables of Computed Factors to be used in Safe Load Computations
Description
Structural Analysis of Unistrut Space-Frame Roofs by Paul H. Coy serves as a practical handbook for architects and structural engineers. This volume supplements Part A, which details the analytical method for computing safe loads using the theory of elasticity. Part B provides an extensive collection of tables and charts with computed factors to expedite and simplify the analysis process. The guide offers specific recommendations for building design, including roof span limits, preferred types of roof support, and lateral load treatments. It includes illustrative examples showing how these factors eliminate complex calculations, making the design process more efficient for various types of Unistrut space-frame roofs. This handbook focuses on helping professionals easily and accurately determine safe load capacities for their projects.
