Notes to this Lesson• This demonstration develops from knowledge

gained from the development of Gable & Hip Roofs

• This PowerPoint does not explain the development of the Basic Roof Members

• If you require an understanding of these you should first look at the Gable & Hip Roof presentations

Lesson ParametersTo be Provided by Trainer and used in Confirmation Excercises

Critical Definition

• On the A3 Paper Supplied, Draw to scale and Octagonal End Roof based on the following

• Building Length = 7600mm

• Building Width = 4500mm

• Correctly Label all Roof Members

Answer

• Retain your drawing for future use and submission.

Review Geometry

Angle Between Major Crown End & Centring Rafters = 90⁰

All Angles are plan angles

Clean Up Drawing

Angle Between Crown End Rafters = 45⁰


Clean Up Drawing

Angle Between Crowns Ends & Hips = 22.5⁰


Angles formed by the Roof

These angles are the same no matter the size of Roof as it is a Geometric Shape


Octagonal Roof TheoryIf the angle between the members is constant 22.5⁰

We can say in all cases, no matter the size of the roof½ End = ½ Span x tan 22.5⁰

= ½ Span x 0.414


If the angle between the members is constant 22.5⁰

We can say in all cases, no matter the size of the roof

½ End = ½ Span x 0.414

Octagonal Roof Theory

The Triangles are the same



We can say in all cases, no matter the size of the roof

½ End = ½ Span x 0.414


Top Plate Projection= ½ End



In all cases, we can say

Full End = ½ Span x 0.414 x 2




Also in all cases, the full end will be

Full End = ½ Span x 0.828



These formulas are the same no matter the size of the Roof

Top Plate Projection = ½ Span x 0.414 (Also ½ End)Full End = ½ Span x 0.828

Determine Roof Members

• As with all previous roof

• We must solve the 1m triangle

Solve 1m Triangle - Example(3a) Rafter Length per plan 1m of Travel of Rafter in Plan

• Rafter Length per 1m = 1 ÷ Cos 22.5° = 1.082 (This is the Rafter Multiplier)

22.5°

Solve 1m Triangle - Example3(b) Rise per plan 1m Travel of Rafter in Plan

• Rise = 1 x Tan 22.5° = 0.414 (This is the Rise Multiplier)

1.082

22.5°

Solve 1m Triangle - Example3(c) Hip Rafter Plan Length per 1m Travel of Rafter in Plan

Lets have a close look at why the Plan Length of Hip is ALWAYS 1.082 for every 1m of Rafter plan length

1.082

The Octagonal Roof is a geometric shape

No matter the size the angles are always the same

Plan Length Hip Rafter




These angles are always 90⁰




These angles are always 22.5⁰

These relationships are constant on all properly built Octagonal Roofs



Calculate Plan Length of Hip

Method 1

Plan Hip Length = √((1/2 Span)² (1/2 Span x 0.414)²) = 1.082 per 1m of Rafter Plan Length


Hip Rafters

1.082


Method 2

Plan Hip Length = ½ Span ÷ cos 22.5⁰ = 1.082 per 1m of Rafter Plan Length


1.082


Method 2

Plan Hip Length = ½ Span ÷ cos 22.5⁰ = 1.082 per 1m of Rafter Plan Length


1.082

The Hip Plan Length isAlways 1.082 x ½ Span

Hip Rafter per 1m of Common Rafter Plan Length

In ALL Cases Plan Length Hip =1.082 x ½ Span

Solve 1m Triangle - Example2(c) Hip Rafter Plan Length per 1m Travel of Rafter in Plan

Solve 1m Triangle - Example2(d) Hip Rafter Length per 1m Travel of Rafter in Plan

Hip Length / m = √(0.4142 + 1.0822 )= √(0.171 + 1.171)= 1.159

Plumb Cut Offset = Tan(Hip Pitch°) x Timber Depth or= (Timber Depth ÷ 1.082) x Rise

Worked Example 1Using Derived Hip Pitch

Roof Pitch = 22.5Hip Pitch = 20.9°Timber Depth = 190mm

= (Tan 20.9°) x Timber Depth= 0.382 x 190= 73mm

Worked Example 2Using 1m Trainagle Data

Roof Pitch = 22.5Rise = 0.414Timber Depth = 190mm

= (Timber Depth ÷ 1.082) x 0.414= (190 ÷ 1.082) x 0.414= 175.6 x 0.414= 73mm

2. Determine Long Point Correction

3. Determine 1st Creeper True Length

4. Determine all other Creepers

Determine Shortening

These 2 Triangles are similar


The Ratio between theSides must be equal


Plan Shortening = ½ Span Spacing CL to End


Plan Shortening = 1.000 200 0.414

For an Octagonal RoofThese are always the same


Plan Shortening = 2.414 200


Plan Shortening = 2.414 x 200

Creepersa) Shortening

• Creeper Shortening• = (Spacing x 2.414) x Rafter Length /m

Creepersa) Shortening – Worked Example

• Creeper Shortening– Pitch 22.5°– Spacing = 450mm

• = (Spacing x 2.414) x Rafter Length /m• = (450 x 2.414) x 1.082• = 1086.3 x 1.082• = 1175
