Thank you. Even if I have run some mullions in the timber wall I still have a 4m opening that doesn't allow me to do so. So the window truss will have to transfer the out of plane loads horizontally more or less. If I don't have any mullions, the window truss will have to span 9.3m, which is...
For wind load, do I consider the following path, wind travel from timber wall vertically to window truss and then truss transfer wind to both ends horizontally? OR, do I design such a connection between window truss and the timber wall below to transfer the wind load (moment)?
Can anyone please help me understand how to analyze structure with clerestory to lateral loads?
Please find below image as an example.
What I am thinking:
1. use a steel vierendeel truss as the frame for the window. (Do we have other options like timber truss or anything elese?)
2. What is the...
