3. Frame construction
Traditional framing is made up of systems that transfer loads to fixed points, evenly spaced in two flat directions called "span" and "bay" (or center-to-center distance).
Most of the roofs on today's and older buildings consist of flat surfaces arranged in simple combinations: horizontal slabs, gable roofs, pitched roofs and so on.
The roof structure is generally made up of a superimposition of different wooden or steel parts:
trusses, supporting structure ;
purlins, supported on the truss ;
rafters, nailed to purlins ;
battens or battens for roofing support.
