Truss beams

For the implementation of larger spans in roof structures (> 30 m) trusses are an architecturally appealing, economical and resource-saving alternative to solid wall beams made of glulam. The wooden truss usually consists of continuous chords to which the diagonals and/or posts are connected. A common and simple variant for forming these connections are bar dowel connections. Due to the predominant normal force exposure in the struts and chords of such beams, it is useful to use homogeneous glulam.
