Column and Rafter
Column and Rafter
(OP)
Dear all friends,
I just began engineering with tank designing. But, I do not know when we use rafter, when we use column or both. Please share to me some experience [pacman] [cheer]
Thank you .....

RE: Column and Rafter
When it becomes unreasonable/undesirable to design a self supported roof, you may incorporate a roof structure composed of center column and rafters. In this case the roof slope is usually held at 3/4:12.
Hope this helps.

Nothing wrong with adding rafters; but when they are not needed, the customer is wasting his money and creating a lot of small shelves to catch and hold material.
