Hi fellow structural engineers,
My team just designed a steel truss roof with a 50' span and 10' width, with some tight clearance (1-1/4") with adjacent steel structures. We received some pushback regarding the manufacturability of the steel truss: the contractor is worried about the shop welding of the truss connections. What's the normal tolerance we should expect for a 50' steel welded roof truss?
Thanks!
