Topic Description: Pre-fabricated cold-formed steel trusses have evolved over the past 15 years into a fast growing sector of the cold-formed steel structural framing industry.  The industry has taken many turns along the way and standards are in continuous development to make it easier to design and specify these pre-fabricated components.  This short presentation will highlight the state of the industry and discuss the divisions of labor between all interested parties to insure a properly designed roof structure.  Topics of discussion will include all aspects of a pre-fabricated truss roof structure, including; truss-to-truss connections, truss-to-bearing connections, diaphragm connections, truss design, and truss bracing.
