MODELLING AND DESIGN OF FLAT TIMBER ROOF AND HIGH PITCH TIMBER ROOF, A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

The project "Modelling and Design of Flat Timber Roof and High Pitch Timber Roof, AComparative Analysis" aims to investigate and compare the structural and design aspects of flattimber roofs and high pitch timber roofs. Timber roofs are widely used in construction due to theiraesthetic appeal and sustainability. However, choosing between a flat or high pitch design requirescareful consideration of various factors such as structural performance, environmental impact, andarchitectural design.Based on the findings from the literature review and modelling analysis, the project will providerecommendations for the selection of the most suitable roof design based on specific projectrequirements and constraints. These recommendations will consider factors such as costeffectiveness, durability, sustainability, and architectural compatibility.The research methodology includes an extensive literature review to gather existing knowledge ontimber roof design and construction. Computer-aided design (CAD) software will be utilized tocreate accurate 3D models of both flat timber roofs and high pitch timber roofs. Structural analysiswill be performed to assess the load-carrying capacity, stability, and durability of each roof type.The outcomes of this project aim to contribute to the existing knowledge on flat and high pitchtimber roofs and assist architects, engineers, and construction professionals in making informeddecisions regarding roof design selection. The study focuses on evaluating the structuralperformance, environmental considerations, and design considerations of these two roof types.
