Hammer Beam Truss 2

[Lion06]

Does anyone know where to find information on Hammer Beam Trusses?

I'm doing some research and can really only find pictures. I could just pump the geometry into a model, but I'd like a little historical information first.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

Download the pdf from

with plenty info on the trusses and their way of working. Of course no substitute for any modern analysis tool, but great to start.

In Acrobat, use F3 or Ctrl-F to open a search for the Hammer Beam Truss words.

I understand there is a log of information on the International Blacksmith website too...
