LATERAL BRACING LOCATION <br />Indicates location where bearings <br />(supports) occur. Icons vary but <br />reaction section indicates joint <br />number/letter where bearings occur. <br />Min size shown is for crushing only. <br />Indicated by symbol shown and/or <br />by text in the bracing section of the <br />output. Use T or I bracing <br />if indicated. <br />The first dimension is the plate <br />width measured perpendicular <br />to slots. Second dimension is <br />the length parallel to slots. <br />Center plate on joint unless x, y <br />offsets are indicated. <br />Dimensions are in ft-in-sixteenths. <br />Apply plates to both sides of truss <br />and fully embed teeth. <br />1. Additional stability bracing for truss system, e.g. <br /> diagonal or X-bracing, is always required. See BCSI. <br />2. Truss bracing must be designed by an engineer. For <br /> wide truss spacing, individual lateral braces themselves <br /> may require bracing, or alternative Tor I <br /> bracing should be considered. <br />3. Never exceed the design loading shown and never <br /> stack materials on inadequately braced trusses. <br />4. Provide copies of this truss design to the building <br /> designer, erection supervisor, property owner and <br /> all other interested parties. <br />5. Cut members to bear tightly against each other. <br />6. Place plates on each face of truss at each <br /> joint and embed fully. Knots and wane at joint <br /> locations are regulated by ANSI/TPI 1. <br />7. Design assumes trusses will be suitably protected from <br /> the environment in accord with ANSI/TPI 1. <br />8. Unless otherwise noted, moisture content of lumber <br /> shall not exceed 19% at time of fabrication. <br />9. Unless expressly noted, this design is not applicable for <br /> use with fire retardant, preservative treated, or green lumber. <br />10. Camber is a non-structural consideration and is the <br /> responsibility of truss fabricator. General practice is to <br /> camber for dead load deflection. <br />11. Plate type, size, orientation and location dimensions <br /> indicated are minimum plating requirements. <br />12. Lumber used shall be of the species and size, and <br /> in all respects, equal to or better than that <br /> specified. <br />13. Top chords must be sheathed or purlins provided at <br /> spacing indicated on design. <br />14. Bottom chords require lateral bracing at 10 ft. spacing, <br /> or less, if no ceiling is installed, unless otherwise noted. <br />15. Connections not shown are the responsibility of others. <br />16. Do not cut or alter truss member or plate without prior <br /> approval of an engineer. <br />17. Install and load vertically unless indicated otherwise. <br />18. Use of green or treated lumber may pose unacceptable <br /> environmental, health or performance risks. Consult with <br /> project engineer before use. <br />19. Review all portions of this design (front, back, words <br /> and pictures) before use. Reviewing pictures alone <br /> is not sufficient. <br />20. Design assumes manufacture in accordance with <br /> ANSI/TPI 1 Quality Criteria. <br />21. The design does not take into account any dynamic <br /> or other loads other than those expressly stated. <br />Failure to Follow Could Cause Property <br />Damage or Personal Injury <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> (Drawings not to scale) <br />© 2023 MiTek® All Rights Reserved <br />MiTek Engineering Reference Sheet: MII-7473 rev. 1/2/2023 <br />edge of truss. <br />from outside"16/1 <br />-0 <br />ICC-ES Reports: <br />ESR-1988, ESR-2362, ESR-2685, ESR-3282 <br />ESR-4722, ESL-1388 <br />JOINTS ARE GENERALLY NUMBERED/LETTERED CLOCKWISE <br />AROUND THE TRUSS STARTING AT THE JOINT FARTHEST TO <br />THE LEFT. <br />CHORDS AND WEBS ARE IDENTIFIED BY END JOINT <br />NUMBERS/LETTERS. <br />W4- <br />6 <br />W3 <br />- <br />6 <br />W3-7W2 <br />- <br />7 <br />W1- <br />7 <br />C1 <br />- <br />8 <br />C5-6C6-7C7-8 <br />C4 <br />- <br />5 <br />C3-4 <br />C2-3C1-2 <br />TO <br />P <br /> <br />C <br />H <br />O <br />R <br />D <br />TO <br />P <br /> <br />C <br />H <br />O <br />R <br />D <br />8 7 6 5 <br />4 <br />321 <br />BOTTOM CHORDS <br />TOP CHORDS <br />BEARING <br />4 x 4 <br />PLATE SIZE <br />This symbol indicates the <br />required direction of slots in <br />connector plates. <br />"16/1 <br />For 4 x 2 orientation, locate <br />plates 0- <br />2/1 <br />PLATE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />*Plate location details available in MiTek <br />software or upon request. <br />Industry Standards: <br />ANSI/TPI1: National Design Specification for Metal <br /> Plate Connected Wood Truss Construction. <br />DSB-22: Design Standard for Bracing. <br />BCSI: Building Component Safety Information, <br /> Guide to Good Practice for Handling, <br /> Installing, Restraining & Bracing of Metal <br /> Plate Connected Wood Trusses. <br />6-4-8 <br />WEBS <br />Trusses are designed for wind loads in the plane of the <br />truss unless otherwise shown. <br />Lumber design values are in accordance with ANSI/TPI 1 <br />section 6.3 These truss designs rely on lumber values <br />established by others. <br />dimensions shown in ft-in-sixteenthsL <br />Joint ID <br />typ.
