Timber Frame / Heavy Timber Design
Timber Frame / Heavy Timber Design
(OP)
Hello, I'm a bit out of my field here as a mech eng but doing some planning and sketches which I will be forwarding to a structural engineer. Hoping to save some $ by discounting unsuitable designs before he does the detailed design.
I am designing what amounts to a very simple, single slope, heavy timber truss to span 16 ft lengths on top of heavy timber columns. The truss will have a structural insulated panel on top resting on the top chord.
I am wondering where to start. I was thinking of setting up some systems of equations in a spreadsheet and referencing the difference material section properties/sizes.
