Scissor Truss Bracing

Scissor Truss Bracing

Scissor Truss Bracing

(OP)
Where can I find exaples of diagonal brace layouts for scissor  
trusses.  My application is Agricultural so I have 4' spacings  , no ceiling, and metal cladding.  All examples I find refer to diaphram on top and bottom, I don't thing this applies.  

 

RE: Scissor Truss Bracing

For wood truss bracing Truss Plate Institute www.tpinst.org. They have a publication:
Commentary and Recommendations for Handling, Installing and Bracing Metal Plate Connected Wood Trusses, HIB-91.

Farm building and facility plans were developed over many years by engineers at Land Grant universities check:
