    Design of Tension Members - Info On Sag Rods

    Uploaded by

    Richard Fernandez
    Threaded rods and cables are often used as tension members when slenderness is not a concern, such as for hangers and suspended bridges. Rods are solid while cables are made from strands of wire wound together. Threading the end of a rod reduces its cross-sectional area, so an upset end is sometimes used instead to prevent this, though it is more expensive. Sag rods provide lateral support for purlins in sloped roofs to prevent sag from vertical loads and are designed to support the component of roof loads parallel to the roof. Each sag rod segment supports the load below it from the heel of the roof truss to the peak. The tie rod at the ridge must resist the load from all sag rods on

    Threaded Rods and Cables

    When slenderness is not a consideration, circular rods and cables are often used (hangers, suspended bridges). Rods are solid and cables are made from individual strands wound together. Threading the end of a rod reduces the cross sectional area (upset end prevents such
    reduction, but is expensive).

    Threaded Rods and Cables


    A strand consists of individual wires wound helically around a centrl core. A wire rope is made of several strands laid helically around a core.

    Tension Members in Roof Truss


    Trusses are used where the cost and weight of a beam could be prohibitive (long spans). A truss may be thought of as a deep beam with much of the web removed. Tension members in roof trusses include some truss members and sag rods.

    Sag Rods
    Sag rods are used to provide lateral support for the purlins (to prevent sag in direction parallel to a sloping roof due to vertical applied loads). They are designed to support the component of roof loads parallel to the roof.

    Sag Rods
    Each segment between purlins is assumed to support everything below it; thus the top rod is designed for the load on the roof area tributary to the rod, from the heel of the truss to the peak.

    Sag Rods
    The tie rod between ridge purlins must resist the load from all of the sag rods on either side.
