The pitch of the roof truss is usually ________ of its slope.

Pitch of the Roof Truss of its Slope

• For appropriate drainage, a roof truss’s pitch (Rise/Span) should be 1/4 to 1/6 of its slope. Pitch for symmetrical trusses is equal to the top chord’s inclination divided by two.
• The roof trusses are spaced at 1/3 to 1/5 of the span.
• Trusses for roofs typically call for relatively light members.
• To prevent damage during shipment, a minimum ISA 50 x 50 x 6 mm angle section should be included.
• At least 2 rivets must be used to join any member to the gusset plate, which must be at least 6 mm thick.
• As a result, the roof truss is typically equal to one-fourth of the slope.

Summary:

The pitch of the roof truss is usually ________ of its slope. (a) half (b) one-fourth (c) double (d) three-fourth

The roof truss’s pitch corresponds to one-fourth of its slope. It is cost-effective for spans more than 6 mm. It comprises steel connector plates, internal web members, top chords, and bottom chords at all junctions.
