Interactive Roofing Timber Structure Design Simulator

Simulate and calculate roofing timber structure designs. An educational tool for civil and structural engineering students based on international standard codes. Do you know why rafters are sized differently than purlins? It's all about the load transfer hierarchy! This tool shows how loads cascade from the Battens to the Purlins and finally to the inclined Rafters, with each member needing its own check for Dead, Live, and Wind Loads. Essential knowledge for home construction!

Interactive Roofing Steel Structure Design Simulator

Simulate and calculate roofing steel structure designs. Explore various truss types like King Post, Queen Post, and Fink trusses. An educational tool. Did you know the Design Load (Pd) is a factored combination of Dead Load + Live Load (or Wind Load)? This simulator highlights the critical role of Yield Stress (fy) and Allowable Deflection in sizing rafters and purlins, ensuring the structure meets safety standards like Eurocode (EN 1993). A perfect virtual lab! 🏗️ Source: Interactive Roofing Steel Structure Design Simulator Tags: roofing, steel structure, civil engineering, structural analysis, truss, rafter, purlin, batten, MS 1533, BS 5950, EN 1993, AISC, Ir.
