In specifying a wood roof truss for a project, its slope, overall geometry, and the loads imposed on it are determined by the architect in consultation with the structural engineer. The structural design of the truss is, however, not done by the project's structural engineer. Who, then, prepares the structural design of the truss, and what is the role of the architect and the project's structural
engineer after the truss design has been completed?
What will be an ideal response?
The structural design of the truss is prepared by the truss fabricator's structural engineer. Based on the design, the fabricator prepares the shop drawings of the truss and sends them to the architect (and the structural engineer) for approval before undertaking its fabrication.
