Establishing Thickening & Stud RequirementsEstablish the type of load applied to the floor as being either a UDL (uniformly distributed load) or aconcentrated load. Girder trusses will always give concentrated loads and a run of two or moretrusses with the same loads will give a UDL.

Establish the maximum load value via the MiTek 20/20 Truss Design Software by using the TrussBearings Exceeding 10 kN Report (see example below). Choose the maximum DOWN value in kN.

Go to the Slab Thickening & Stud Requirement Table on page 3 and choose from the appropriatesection; either no change for up to 10 kN, FP1 and FS1 for up to 20 kN, or FP2 and FS2 for up to 30 kN.

®

Choose from the selection of stud options (height, centres and grade).

Apply the relevant slab and stud requirements as specified and detailed on page 3.

Where the maximum positive bearing reaction exceeds 10 kN (uplift), refer to MiTek for SpecialDesign.

Krack MateAvailable in 3.0m lengths which can be bent and snapped to the required length on site,to suit the width of concrete being laid.Alternatively KRACK MATE lengths can be lapped against each other for continuous crackindused locations over greater areas.

Once the concrete has been screeded and is still relatively wet, KRACK MATE can be installedat predetermined locations by placing the product vertically into the concrete surface.With a series of gentle push/pull movements, the product will slowly immerse itself into theconcrete just below, or at surface level.

Installation

Immersing KRACK MATE intoscreeded surface

Floating off for continuoussurface finish

AdvantagesDesigned for on-ground slabs and can be butted up to any given edge ie. columns,pilasters and kerbing.Allows the concrete to crack along the KRACK MATE whilst it cures.Profile makes KRACK MATE almost impossible to dislodge therefore surface can befloated as normalto obtain a flat continuous surface.KRACK MATE provides a positive alternative to existing methods and saw cut options.KRACK MATE insures no cutting of mesh enabling the continuity of mesh and and rebarto be utilised to their maximum strength.

• Use a 10 mm diameter masonry bit for a solid concrete substrate and an 8 mm diameter drill bit for fixing to a timber sub-floor.

• Drill a hole into the base material to depth 8 mm deeper than the required embedment and clean out the hole of dust and debris prior to installation of the BOWMAC screw bolt.

Installation of BOWMAC screw bolt (if included in pack)

• Insert the bolt through the GIB HandiBrac® plate and bracket and into the hole.

• Begin tightening the bolt by applying forward pressure when engaging the first thread.

• Additional forward pressure may be required for installation in high strength, dense base materials.

• Continue tightening the anchor until the head is firmly seated against the GIB HandiBrac® plate.

• In extremely dense material, use of an impact wrench is recommended.

• Be sure the bolt is at the required embedment depth.

• Don’t exceed the maximum clamping torque of 80Nm.

• The installation is now complete.

Installation Tips:• Use quality hexagonal socket with a ratchet spanner

• Where substrate allows, a torque controlled wrench can be used

• During installation debris or dust created by the thread cutting action may cause some resistance to be experienced. This is easily overcome by unscrewing the BOWMAC screw bolt for one turn, or more and then continue to fix to the full embedment.

INSTALLATIONGeneral

The roof trusses you are about to install have been manufactured to precise engineering standards. To ensure that the trusses perform as designed, it is essential that they be handled, erected and braced correctly. The following recommendations apply to roof trusses on standard domestic buildings with roof truss details given by the MiTek 20/20®

truss design program. Details for commercial, industrial and non-standard domestic buildings are to be provided by the Engineer responsible for overall building design.

Design

1. Trusses are designed for normal residential roof, ceiling, snow and wind loads to suit specific jobs and conditions. Additional loading such as Solar Units, Hot Water Tanks and Air Conditioning requires special consideration. Advice should be sought from the truss fabricator prior to commencing construction.

2. Wall frames and beams supporting trusses must be designed for the correct roof loads. Refer NZS 3604 Timber Framed Buildings or the MiTek® range of beams and lintels.

3. Wind load is an important loading condition in the design and performance of roof trusses. Ensure that you have correctly advised the truss fabricator with regard to wind load requirements and that adequate provision has been made to fix trusses to the supporting structure to withstand wind uplift forces.

4. Trusses are usually designed to be supported on the outer wall with internal walls being non-load bearing. Internal walls may be used to control deflections and reduce the camber required. Where it is necessary to use internal walls for load bearing, these will be clearly shown on the layout.

5. Before ordering trusses, ensure that your particular requirements have been provided for and that all relevant information has been supplied to the truss manufacturer. If non-standard trusses are being used, ensure that erection and bracing details are known before erection commences.

6. For environments where the atmosphere may be conducive to corrosion, such as some types of industrial and agricultural buildings, or buildings near the ocean and subject to salt spray, consideration should be given to the use of stainless steel connector plates.

Important Note

1. It is the Builder’s responsibility to ensure that all relevant information required for the design is provided to the fabricator at time of ordering trusses, including spans, pitches, profiles, quantities and loading. Final confirmation of dimensions and details between the fabricator and builder is recommended prior to manufacture.

2. It is the responsibility of the principal to ensure that all provisions of the Health and Safety Act are complied with during the installation of MiTek® timber trusses.

3. Trusses are designed for specific loading, geometry and support conditions. Under no circumstances should the truss timber be cut, removed or trusses modified in any way without prior approval from the truss fabricator.

4. Make sure all bracing is permanently fixed and all bolts and brackets are tightened prior to the laying of roof.

Transport

Trusses must be fully supported when being transported in either a horizontal or vertical plane. Care must be taken when tying down not to put strain on chords or webs.

Timber or metal right angle protectors are a satisfactory method of avoiding damage. Unloading and handling as described below.

INSTALLATIONJob Storage and Lifting

Trusses should be inspected on arrival at site. Any damaged trusses should be reported immediately and not site repaired without approval of the truss fabricator.

Where it is anticipated that trusses will be stored on site for an extended period of time before use, adequate provision should be made to protect the trusses against the effects of weather. Protective covering should allow free air circulation around trusses.

Trusses when stored on the job site should be on timber billets clear of the ground and in flat position to avoid distortion.

When lifting, care must be taken to avoid damaging joints and timber. Spreader bars with attachment to the panel points are recommended where span exceeds 9000mm. Never lift by the apex joint only.

The trusses may also be placed on the top plates by pulling them up skids, spread at 3000mm, taking the same precaution as described above. Ensure that the trusses are not distorted or allowed to sag between supports.

The recommended method of lifting trusses will depend on a number of factors, including truss length and shape.

In general, sling the truss from top chord panel points as shown in (Fig 1). Slings should be located at equal distance from truss centreline and be approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the truss length apart.

Chains and hooks should not be used for lifting as these can damage the chords and plates. Polyester web slings are recommended.

The angle between the sling legs should be 60º or less and where truss spans are greater than 9000mm it is recommended that a spreader bar or strongback be used. Some typical examples are shown in (Fig 1).

INSTALLATIONWall Frame Construction

The load bearing frames should be checked for:

1. Lintel sizes suitable for truss loading. Consult NZS 3604, the GANGLAM Beam Manual, the MiTek® FLITCH BEAM Manual or your truss fabricator.

2. If trusses are not located directly over the studs the top plate size must be in accordance with NZS 3604 or be reinforced in accordance with NZS 3604.

3. Girder trusses may require the strengthening of studs at the points of support. Check the loading with your truss fabricator. Points circled on the layout notes are critical.

4. The supporting structure construction must be adequate to resist wind uplift forces and must be fully braced, plumb and nailed home before the erection of trusses is commenced.

Erection and Fixing

It is convenient to mark the truss position on the wall plates before lifting the trusses. Use the layout drawing as your guide and note that the truss design spacing must not be exceeded.

Gable Roofs – start with a gable truss at each end, fixing it to the top plate at the position marked. These trusses must be temporarily braced back to the ground or frame at the panel points.

Hip or Semi Gable – start with the semi gable girder truss or the truncated girder, placing it on the top plate at the position marked and temporarily bracing it back to the frame. Locate hip and jack trusses and adjust girder truss position before fixing.

Line – Using a stringline along the apex (Fig 3), place each intermediate truss and fix it to the top plate at the position marked, spacing it with gauging rods and ties (Fig 6).

All trusses should be fixed to top plates and girder trusses in accordance with NZS 3604 or the specific roof truss design.

Camber

Trusses are usually manufactured with a camber built in. The camber is designed to give a flat ceiling and even roofline under long term loading. The camber is progressively taken up as the load from the roof covering and ceiling is applied. Under no circumstances should trusses be supported along the span (unless designed for) by blocking or propping.

If a truss has been designed to be supported internally a “SUPPORT HERE” label is affixed at the appropriate point.

Erection Tolerances

Tolerance is critical for both a good roofline and effective bracing. A string line, plumb line or level should be used.

1. Trusses should be erected with overall bow or bow in any chord not to exceed the lesser of L/200 or 50mm (L is the chord length).

2. Trusses should be erected with the apex not more than the lesser of the span/200mm or 50mm from a vertical plane through the supports.

3. No section of the truss should not be out of plumb by the truss height/50 or max. 50mm.

Generally if a bow or tilt is evident to the eye, the truss has been erected outside the tolerances. See (Fig 5).

INSTALLATIONErection Bracing

The trusses must be braced during erection. If this is not done, then two problems can occur.

1. Collapse during erection.

2. Erection tolerance will be exceeded, causing overloading, buckling and possible permanent damage.

The exact details of erection bracing will, for practical purposes, differ from job to job. The following recommendations are for guidance only as the details employed are the responsibility of the erector.

Plumb

Bow

The first truss should be erected straight and plumb to erection tolerances given previously and temporarily braced to a rigid element, e.g. wall or ground as shown on (Fig 6).

Each successive truss should be spaced using a gauging rod, then fixed back to the first truss with temporary ties at each top chord panel point or at maximum spacing of 3000mm, and to bottom chord at 4000mm max. spacing.

Use 50 x 25 ties for trusses up to and including 900mm centres and 70 x 35 ties for trusses up to 1800mm centres. Fix ties to each truss with one 3.75 diameter nail. Splice by lapping over 2 adjacent trusses.

The purpose of installing temporary bracing is to hold trusses straight and plumb prior to fixing permanent bracing. Temporary bracing is particularly important when the roof cladding is shingles on ply without purlins. All permanent bracing, ties, hold downs, etc. must be fixed prior to laying of roof.

Locate and space each truss using Gauging Rod

Important Note

These recommendations are a guide only for the erection of residential roof trusses up to 13000mm span and spaced at centres not exceeding 1200mm. For trusses beyond these conditions, consult your truss fabricator.

Roof Bracing - Rules & Definitions

The bracing described in this brochure covers both framed roofs and fully trussed roofs.

2 Roof planes less than 6m (e.g. dormers & porches) do not require bracing.Roof braces can consist of either i) Roof Plane Brace or ii) Roof Space Brace or combination of the two. Roof braces are not required on roofs where sarking is installed as per NZS 3604:2011 Clause 10.4.4 or where a ceiling diaphragm is installed and is attached to the rafters.Roof area is the actual plan area of the roof and includes overhangs.A hip or valley rafter running continuously from ridge to top plate can be classed as one roof plane brace. A pair of crossed LUMBERLOK Strip Brace (preferred for ease of installation) can be classed as one roof plane brace and shall be installed as detailed in this brochure.There must be at least one roof plane brace in each roof plane. Each ridge line shall have a minimum of two roof braces.Every design effort should be made to distribute the roof braces as evenly as possible over the entire roof area and run alternately in opposite directions.
