General Information

Figure 1 shows a farm hut.

The hut has three front and three back reinforced concrete columns; the gable roof structure is made of timber, and the cover is made of asbestos roofing sheets. A raised timber floor is installed between the two central and two external columns. The longitudinal column spacing l ≅ 1.5 m, and the transverse spacing t ≅ 2.5 m.

Gable Roof Concept

Figure 2 shows the roof structure.

The rafters are placed over the ridge beam, and under it are connected two king posts and two struts, which are connected to the transverse tie beam by nails. The central columns are connected to the gable roof structure as shown in figure 3.

The king post and the transverse tie beam are placed directly over the front tie beam, which is placed directly over the central column and fastened with two concrete-embedded U-shaped steel wires.

Figure 4 shows two farm hut variants.

Variant 1 is without the struts, the transverse tie beam, and the central columns, while variant 2 is without the struts, the transverse tie beam, and the front tie beams.
