Rough dead-weight of an 80-foot span wood-truss for roof?
(OP)
Hi,
Was hoping someone could tell me what an 80-foot span wood roof truss might weigh? The truss is for a gable roof with a 4/12 pitch. Would appreciate any "ballpark" estimates or site-links. TIA

Check Alpine's Encyclopedia of Trusses - they have estimated weights or call your local truss supplier.

So you are looking at about 40 psf total load - down. Wind is another problem.
Fairly typically for non-comercial here in the mid-west. Commercial is usually about 50 psf.
