Graduation date: 1997Metal-plate-connected (MPC) trusses have traditionally been designed based on a\ud tributary load distribution and a simplified truss model. This design method ignores the\ud load-sharing and composite action in MPC roof truss systems, the semi-rigidity of MPC\ud joints, and joint eccentricity.\ud The main objective of this study was to provide a practical approach to model\ud MPC trusses and roof truss systems by using a commercial program and investigate the\ud system performance of MPC roof trusses with plywood sheathing. The model takes into\ud account the complexities of system behavior from load-sharing and composite action, the\ud semi-rigidity of the MPC joints, and joint eccentricity. Model verification was\ud ...
