Dear engineers,
I am not structural engineer, however i facing structural issue on my renovation project so I need your help.
Thanks guys in advance for all support you can provide, much appreciated.
I want to modify the roof/canopy on my balcony to make the two sections at same elevation with same slop all along and dropping rain water water outside.
I proposed a solution avoiding pillors and maintaining the 15 degree slop for rain water drop.
To reduce weight as possible, i found a local product made in cement fiber as substitute of clay tiles.
Could you please tell me if my solution if feasible ?
What type of mettalic profile is best for this support ? which tickness ?
What kind of bolt/method to use for fixing to concrete?
What space should i leave between support?
If this solution you think is not recommended, how would you design a canopy with pillors ?
Cheers.
