The load shall accordingly be multiplied by the distance between the rafters. This means that you design the frames if they were all in the middle of the structure. This is acceptable if it is remembered that all the frames are carried out with the same dimensions in practice. If you wish to take into account that the frames on the edge only support half of the load, then divide the distance between the rafters by two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":30207,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/17955"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17955"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/17955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30152,"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/17955\/revisions\/30152"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/30207"}],"next":[{"title":"Design of plates in reinforced concrete","link":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/docs\/12build\/getting-started-with-12-build\/design-of-plates-in-reinforced-concrete\/","href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/17964"}],"prev":[{"title":"Design of a truss","link":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/docs\/12build\/getting-started-with-12-build\/design-of-a-truss\/","href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/17617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=17955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
