Rafter 3

The document provides information to design a rafter with a 7.5 m span that must support a dead load of 0.71 kN/m and a live load of 0.6 kN/m. It performs calculations to determine the required strength and maximum deflection, and shows a trial rafter section with yield strength of 15.48 kN meets the strength requirement and has a deflection of 0.27 in, less than the allowable 0.3 in.
