Roof Truss Apparatus Model MT 091

Roof Truss Apparatus Model MT 091

Sci-tech Roof Truss Apparatus Model MT 091 is used to measure the deformation in elements of roof truss. Whenever a load is applied to a roof truss, its members undergo a strain. This unit consists of a base structure which provides the support locations for the roof truss. Three metallic elements form a roof truss in a triangular shape. Load is applied from the top of the roof truss structure via a hanger. Each member has a dial gauge connected to it which shows the deformation produced due to applied load in each member.

Technical Specifications

Specifications

  • Evaluation of co-planar forces in the struts and tie of a basic roof truss
  • Effect of changing tie bar length
  • The apparatus consists of two rafter struts and a restraining tie mounted on a self-contained, bench top base
  • Both struts and tie incorporate linear, direct reading spring balances to measure forces
  • Loading at the hinged apex by load hanger
  • The tie length, and hence angle of truss, variable
  • Struts and tie re-adjustable to original lengths
  • An instruction manual for student and lecturer provided
  • Set of weights

 

Experiments

  1. To compare experimental values of the forces in the struts and tie of a basic roof truss with theoretical predictions 
  2. To observe the effect of changing the tie bar length
