Opening in structural steel roof
Opening in structural steel roof
(OP)
Hi,
I'm designing the house which has 8.0m.x8.0m. (width x length) roof without the intermediate support and the client want to have the opening about 2.0m.x 2.0m. at the middle of the roof for the skylight (it looks like a pyramid with cut the top part of pyramid off). I plan to use the compression ring dia. 2.0m which built from CHS tube to allow for the opening at the middle of the roof because the compression ring will give the clear opening if I use square shape, it will have a diagonal member cross the opening,right? But I'm not familiar with this kind of structure. If anybody have any comment, please help me.
Thanks
