Abstract text:
Wood as building material has been used since ancient times due to its performance and generous applicability in implementation of various structural elements and building systems. The need to reduce losses in the process of implementing operational structures in construction, from excessive consumption of material has led to the development of new structural systems for wood construction and roofing structures. Frequently, modern structures of pitched roofs have in their composition systems made of prefabricated structural components and wood products. This paper examines several embodiments of wooden roofing structures, taking into account the structural system, materials and dimensions of lumber assortments and material consumption for various types of pitched roofs.
Key Words:
timber structures; pitched roofs; material consumption; rational design.
