Flat Truss End Details

Flat Truss End Details

Flat Truss End Details

(OP)
I am trying to categorize all of the common end configurations of a flat truss. So far I have come up with the six shown below:




1.) Mansard w/ Parapet
2.) Parapet
3.) Mansard
4.) Overhang
5.) Cantilever
6.) None

Both Mansard configurations can also have an optional overhang as shown. The Parapet configuration should allow for customizing the thickness of the parapet wall.
