    This document summarizes the design of a timber structure according to Eurocode 5. It calculates forces and moments for design loads on the structure, which is a truss. It then lists the axial forces determined through structural analysis. Finally, it evaluates several members to check if their stresses are below permissible limits, finding the stresses are acceptable in all cases evaluated.

    Practical design of timber structures to Eurocode 5

    All calculations of forces and moments are for design loads. The
    uniformly distributed loads are replaced by point load at the nodes:
    F1 ¼ 0:5c½l12 cos 208ðgtop =cos 208 þ sÞ þ l17 gbot  ¼ 1:38 kN
    F7 ¼ c½0:5ðl17 þ l67 Þgbot  ¼ 0:97 kN
    F2 ¼ F3 ¼ c  0:5  ðl12 þ l23 Þðgtop þ s cos 208Þ ¼ 1:79 kN
    The axial forces are determined by equilibrium conditions (framework
    analysis or virtual work analysis). They are listed in the table below.
    Initially the moments are found in the undeformed state and the
    node moments are then reduced by 10% (factor 0.9).
    Top chord:
    M2 ¼ 0:9cðgtop = cos 208 þ sÞðl17 cos 208Þ2 =8
    ¼ 0:9  0:503 ¼ 0:453 kNm
    M12 ¼ 0:503  0:453=2 ¼ 0:277 kNm
    The bottom chord is treated as a continuous beam over three spans
    (moment factor 0.1). Any joints are placed near the points with zero
    moments:
    M7 ¼ 0:9c  0:10gbot l217 ¼ 0:9  0:6  0:10  0:54  32
    ¼ 0:262 kNm
    M17 ¼ c0:125  gbot l217  0:262=2 ¼ 0:365  0:131 ¼ 0:262 kNm
    M67 ¼ 0:365  0:262 ¼ 0:103 kNm
    The axial forces and moments are summarised in the following
    table.

    Trusses and bracings

    For the main members the load combinations with snow are
    critical. For some of the secondary members the dead load alone
    may be dominating, but this is not investigated since the stress
    index is small. The required increase of the forces and moments by
    10% and the system factor ksys ¼ 1:1 compensate each other.

    Top flange 1—2


    The top flange is a laterally loaded column. For deflection in the
    plane of the truss the column length is equal to the node distance.
    Perpendicular to the plane, the flange is held by the battens. Their
    distance is determined so that deflection in this direction is not
    critical.
