Many advantages possessed mild steel. “It weighed about 9-10 kg / m 2. The wooden horses weighing approximately 15-18 kg / m 2. The price ranged between USD 140-200 ribu/m2, depending on model, size, type of roof, stretch.

NEW ALTERNATIVE HORSE HORSE WOOD SUBSTITUTE

As an alternative to lightweight steel roof truss of new material lately become popular and even become its own trend, marked by the large number of brands of lightweight steel roof truss in Indonesia. On the one hand, a lot of brands that make consumers can freely choose which is most suited to the needs or the available funds. But on the other hand, many brands will also result in “price war” that could harm consumers. Why? Because many vendors already lightweight steel roof truss that reduces the quality standards for the price to be “tilted”. The decline was the quality standards of course very dangerous. There have been many news about the fall of lightweight steel roof truss in various locations, even some of them reported in the newspaper. One cause of the emergence of “non-standard quality” it is because so far in Indonesia there is no regulation (building codes) for structures with lightweight steel building! If so, how best to choose lightweight steel roof truss? How do we know the materials used really qualified? How should I correct installation? If it comes down who is responsible? In choosing a lightweight steel roof truss of quality, keep in mind some important things as follows:

Quality Steel For mild steel the thickness of the profile is very thin (which circulate in Indonesia, ranging from 0.5 to 1 mm), steel materials to be used is high quality steel or so-called HI-TEN (High Tension Steel).

Layer in Indonesia which is generally used is the layer Z (Zinc) which is often referred AZ Galvanized or layers (Aluminum and Zinc). Each layer have their own strengths and shortcomings. Many people mistakenly think that the aluminum material is better than Zinc Zinc (Galvanized), whereas that determines the thickness of the coating is used, rather than kind.

Design Structure For a different structure of behavior, the structure of lightweight steel roof truss could not be calculated using structural analysis software for steel construction thick commonly used. Confessors System / bracing and Murplat (Top Plate) lightweight steel roof frames made from thin steel, although it has been made to form a solid profile, high strength but low rigidity (compared to eg timber). With a weak rigidity, the structure of lightweight steel roof truss must be equipped with a bar admission / bracing enough. Many cases of lightweight steel roof truss that collapsed due to lack of recognition stems / bracing this.
Tool Link (Self Drilling Screw) The installation and one of the most important part of the structure of lightweight steel roof truss. Self Drilling Screw (SDS), or screw with a steel penetrating tip without nuts. For thin steel, SDS is used to a special type with a rough path, and the space under the bolt head. Chronology of the rough will make a thin steel is composed of the groove (not damaged by the flow), so that SDS is capable of carrying large loads on the connection. Another thing that is important is that the installation of SDS must use a special tool in the form of screw drivers equipped with torque control. Without torque control, SDS lost its function as risk aus (overtighten), where this situation is very dangerous. So in choosing a lightweight steel roof truss that will we use, experience and a trusted brand is much better and more important
