metal panels for bottom chord truss bracing
metal panels for bottom chord truss bracing
(OP)
I am trying to verify if 29 ga. mcelory maxi-rib panels are sufficient for the permanent bc lateral bracing of a wood truss roof (are the panels a rigid clg. diaphragm?). The trusses are scissor trusses spaced at 4' o.c. and spanning 60 ft. The building is 80' long. I question if the panels are good enough on their own, or, if we should add clb's.
