If you want to calculate these values by hand use the following formulas.
Roof load width formula.
It is important to list live load dead load and total load separately because live load is used to compute stiffness and total load is used to calculate strength.
50 psf x 14ft 700 pounds per lineal foot.
This video looks at roof load width rlw.
This is the sixth video in the series on the timber framing code.
Roof load width rlw rafter span if placed at midspan otherwise span1 span2.
Multiply the length by the width to get the measurement for the area.
910 pounds per lineal foot.
Both sides of the equation should be equal in order to end up with a stable and secure roof structure.
15 psf x 14ft 210 pounds per lineal foot.
Measure the length and width of the carport to determine the area of the roof in square feet.
Step 2 determine dead load by identifying the amount of each construction material used in the roof.
Rlw is used to calculate the sectional size of some roof members and supporting wall.
If the number of members is labeled m and the number of nodes is labeled n this can be written as m 3 2 n.
Roof load area rlw u p span left u p span right or with fan struts.
