Surveyors and structural engineers utilise data from tables below to help calculate the correct size strength and centres of roof timbers for the required spans and loadings.
Roof rafter span use this table to determine the maximum lengths of roof rafters based on species and grade of lumber spacing dimensions load and slope.

The more complex the truss framework is the greater quantity of these joints will be required.
These steel joints are needed to support the overall truss.
The same thing is true for the bridge of the truss.
Floor joist span use this table to determine the maximum lengths of floor joists based on species of lumber joist spacing and joist size.
Consequently timber sizes are larger and spacings may be reduced to 450mm centres.
Therefore care has to be.

Adding purlins between heavy timber trusses is an elegant way to reduce the cost of a timber frame roof because purlins permit an increased on center distance between trusses so you purchase fewer trusses.
Table assumes a maximum flooring mass of 40kg m2.
Surveyors span tables for designing roof rafters.
Support might be needed for very large spans.
Member tables for seasoned timber stress grade f17.
Finally the truss calculator will compute the best dimensional method to connect the pieces of the truss with steel joints and a bridge.
Span tables span tables can be used to determine the size of a timber member of a particular strength class required for a given span.
