Products for Every Application


In addition to open-web trusses, RedBuilt™ offers a variety of other engineered wood products that are
ideal for use in commercial and custom residential projects. For more information, contact your RedBuilt™
technical representative or visit [Link] to download literature for products such as Red-I™ joists
and RedLam™ LVL.

Unsurpassed Technical Support


RedBuilt™ has one of the largest networks of technical representatives
in the business. Their services include consultation, computer-assisted
design and layout, delivery coordination, and installation review. They
can suggest cost-reduction techniques and check special application
requirements. In addition, they’re backed by a staff of professional
engineers who provide comprehensive technical support when needed.
Special requests are accommodated wherever practical, and they
offer cost analysis, engineering analysis, assistance with building code
approvals—even the creation of special product applications for more
creative designs. The goal of RedBuilt™ technical support is to help
architects and engineers achieve quality design applications with the
most cost-efficient product selection possible.
Our network of technical representatives offer a wide
range of services to help guide your ­projects through
planning and construction.
Resource Efficiency
Consider all of the positive attributes of wood when selecting your building material of
choice. In addition to its structural properties, high strength-to-weight ratio, and ease
of construction, wood is a naturally occurring, renewable resource that requires less
energy to produce than steel or concrete. And it sequesters carbon–whether on the
stump or in your structure.

Our RedBuilt™ open-web trusses with RedLam™ LVL chords, as well as other
RedBuilt™ products, are now available with FSC credits. Whether you’re looking
for LEED certification or simply because you want to ensure efficient use of raw
materials, we can help. By making better use of every tree, RedBuilt™ produces cost-
effective, consistently available engineered wood products that reduce environmental
impact. The result is a quality wood product that offers superior strength and reliable
performance.

radial stresses. Contact your RedBuilt™ technical

specifying economical trusses


A minimum depth truss with a maximum plf loading (as shown in tables on pages 6–11) may not be the most economical solution. Designing to the maximum depth allowed
for the application, and not maximizing loads in tables, will produce the most economical solution. More economical trusses can often be specified by considering the
following two g­ uidelines:

Deeper Can Be More Economical Consider Alternative Truss Series


Example: Example:

Extensive testing was conducted to determine the ability of LSL to resist splitting under close on-center nailing. The results of this testing indicate that LSL will not split, even
with multiple rows of 12d (0.148" x 3¼") or smaller nails at 11⁄2" on‑center (or 13⁄4" on-center for 16d [0.162" x 31⁄2"] nails). This allows for the use of any anchor, wall tie, or
strap currently offered by Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc.

Bottom chord restraints are 1x4 (minimum) nailers and are attached to the top of
the bottom chord with two 8d (21⁄2") nail for double chord trusses only. Materials
are to be provided by the installer.

Bridging, when specified, may be used instead of bottom chord restraint.

LONG SPAN INSTALLATION BRACING

Long Spans—­Over 70 Feet


RedBuilt™ open-web trusses with spans beyond 70 feet are a­ vailable only if all of
the following additional requirements are satisfied. Review each of the following
requirements with your RedBuilt™ representative prior to sizing and detailing our
products in any application involving spans beyond 70 feet.
1. There must be a responsible architect and/or engineer of record throughout the
design and construction period of the project.
2. The responsible architect or engineer must include the following statement in the
job specifications: “The trusses shall be installed in rigid modules at least 8
feet in width, accurately assembled in a jig with final sheathing permanently
and totally attached while on the ground. Specified bridging shall be installed
in each module as detailed.”
3. Only structural panel sheathing will be permitted.
4. The purchaser-contractor must sign an addendum to our standard purchase
agreement that contains the above requirements.
5. Prior to execution of the purchase agreement, the specifications and details of
the job must be submitted to and reviewed by RedBuilt™ engineering along with
a description of the installation procedures proposed to be used. Review will be
solely with respect to the above requirements.
The following are sketches of possible rigid modules that would satisfy the
condition specified in requirement 2.

Analysis Procedure
RedBuilt™ open-web trusses are analyzed as pin-connected trusses with continuity
in the top chord member, which receives the superimposed loading. Allowable
truss-member forces are designated in the product acceptance criteria or derived
from material stresses therein. Chord members are analyzed considering both
net section at panel points and gross sections between the panels. Allowable
web member forces consider gross and net sections, pin bearing and buckling.
Pin-connection details consider allowable bearing in the wood for both parallel and
perpendicular-to-grain direction. Reaction detail analysis includes allowable bearing,
induced moments where applicable, and detail stresses. Stress and deflection are
calculated by the displacement method. All of the above is s­ ubstantiated through
continual testing.
