Building & Installing 40' Steel Roof Trusses

The entire roof build process for a 40' x 72' or 12.19m x21.9m structure.
The steel trusses were constructed with 4" x 6" beam split long ways into two T sections and 1/8"x 1.5" angle iron webbing was used to increase the flange width.
The Full span of the roof is 48' feet including overhangs.
Purlins material used 2' x 4' x 1.6 mm rectangular tubing.
The spacing between trusses is about 21' feet.
X braces were made from 2 inch round tubing and 1/4" steel plate.
Truss wall anchors were made with 3/8" steel plate.

Sharp and clean job, I like the organization of the shop. The client must be happy and confident

Great video.Thanks

Fun to watch the fab/construction. I am an engineer and I am concerned that there is nothing keeping this structure from blowing over or falling over in wind/earthquakes. Would like to see substantial connections to the shipping containers or some diagonal wire bracing or interior walls to support the side walls. Best of luck! Looks great.

[@CreativityUnleashed]

I see what you mean but it has substantial columns. but also I didn't do that part. but I see what mean thanks.

An engineer a expert at what ever you are doing

[@arunarai5798]

U?

[@exym969]

I see your point. From what I see, the steel trusses will brace the two walls although don't know if this was considered during calculation of the frames. From a seismic POV there isn't that many mass to move around so I'm guessing wind will be a problem here in the future, there's a lack of horizontal bracing between trusses (although vertical ones do exist) on the roof plane. Ps: I'm a civil engineer.

Great work. But I wanted to see how the trusses are connected to the wall.

[@CreativityUnleashed]

there is heavy play with bars welded to them embedded into the ring beams concrete.

[@atubeviewer4942]

Are these done via an engineer specs or you just come up with the steel needed when doing one? Where is this located?

[@bzmrgonz]

Do you have any videos on trusses for post frame and pole barns buddy? I like your style of presentation/explanation.

[@CreativityUnleashed]

thank you so much. and I do have some designs that could work well for them I recently finished a big project but haven't had time to finish the videos

[@bzmrgonz]

@@CreativityUnleashed looking forward to it.

How can one join the company if you are in Ghana

[@zani6607]

Sorry Bro, your trus join is wrong. You need to change the inner trusses/frames direction up side down. Make the frame formed by triangle shapes. It is strongest form of steel construction.

[@keavalientino]

@@CreativityUnleashed great job. can i email you about the roof im making?

[@danielkarlsson397]

Great video but i was thinking about welding penetration, Im not a professional but i weld alot and you do get enough penetration if you can burn through the material just adjust with power and speed right? no need to start/stop. Only time i do this technique is when the material is very thin and you have too much power

[@CreativityUnleashed]

@@danielkarlsson397 you’re right you can have it set just right but when materials are painted or dirty and when you’re gap varies quite a bit, it can be challenging to have it set just right because just right is different for every joint when there’s a lot of variables and I would rather have to stop to let it cool for a second or two, then have to keep changing the machine all the time. If your material is very clean and your route opening is consistent. You can set it just right and not need to stop. And if done right that definitely makes for a better weld.

Good job bro..Where is this house built at? Concrete hollow blocks?

[@CreativityUnleashed]

Yes concrete hollow blocks but it has a lot of columns with very heavy rebar it's a meeting building.

[@melanastacio8816]

@@CreativityUnleashed Those column rebars in the cinder blocks, tied with one across every 3 layers are unbreakable bro. Where is this house built at in what weather condition?

Splitting those Ibeams for Ts... you didnt have severly bent Ts?

[@CreativityUnleashed]

@@vi683a no they were quite straight with a few clams in a little, pushing even by hand they straightened right out

Pretty soon (in 3 to 4 months) I'd need to do a roof like that one, in an "L" shape building (6 walls only) for an activity saloon for a church near Barahona (right before Duverge). Do you have a contact number? perhaps you could help me out with the roof. I'm a Dominican native Christian pastor in DR. Thanks.

[@statutesandordinances5155]

Why are the roof trusses not supported on the columns?

[@CreativityUnleashed]

I believe there were some mistakes on the engineers drawings and where they ended up putting them but there's a strong rainforest header beam.

[@Gary-pogi]

No need, you are free to put the main trusses where you like on the roof beam. Any load is carried by the beam to the columns.

[@legitte_7014]

How did u connect the steel truss to the loadbearing wall🙏

[@CreativityUnleashed]

They are welded to 3/8 plate that has been embedded or bolted especially to the wall

[@appdevtyfy2643]

what tube dimension can be used as a replace of half beam?

[@CreativityUnleashed]

There are a lot of variables to take into consideration so it would be difficult to say right off.
