Reinforcement Construction Major Components of Reinforement – Roof Purlins(Joist) -members spanning greater length than they can support. – Mansard -Sloped roof along west elevation very poorly constructed. – Roof Trusses - Damage to members, buckling, member failure, complete truss failure. – Items associated with Atrium and the Bearing Wall that was removed.

Reinforcement Construction Component Reinforcements – Mansard: Reinforced with additional wood framing and “simpson strong tie accessories” – Roof Purlins: Existing Purlins doubled to accommodate the span – Atrium: Sevaral repairs associated with trusses, bearing,

Reinforcement Construction Component Reinforcements – Roof Trusses: Structural Steel members engineered and added to provide enough strength to carry the existing structural load. Structural Steel will replace the wood as the structure of the building. Wood will still be in place. Wood will not be straightened. Cable bottom chord: Cables will now act as the bottom chord of our steel system.
