started. Since many of these
building projects are built by the
farmer, it is important that there
be an understanding of 'the types
of loads which the building is
subjected to. The main loads
which we have to consider in this
area.are dead load, live loads due
to use and occupancy, wind loads
and snow loads. The dead load
refers to the weight of the
building materials used in the
building. Pouring a concrete floor
in the second storey of the barn
would be an example of dead
load, and a 4 in. thick floor would
have a weight of approximately 50
lb. per sq. ft.
Live loads take into consider-
ation the loads due to animals
, housed in a building as well 'as
loads due to tractors and other
equipment which might be on a
floor. These_ loads are important
when designing slatted floors
especially.
The most commonly overlooked
loading on a building is the wind
load. In the Clinton area we can
expect a horizontal force of up to
5.5 lb. per sq. ft. on a vertical
wall, and -in a high-walled
building such as a machinery
shed, this may be enough to
collapse the building without
adequate knee bracing. The wind
exerts a considerable force on teh
roof of a building as well and this
force is inlanupward direction;
therefore, the roof has to be
fastened down well enough to
withstand this force.
One of the biggest concerns
when designing buildings in
Huron County is the snow load,
The amount of snow which settles
on a roof is influences to a small,
degree by the slope of the roof. A
more important consideration,
however, is whether the building
is exposed to the wind or
protected from the wind. An
exposed building is likely to be
blown fairly clear of snow. In the
case of an addition being built
onto a two-storey barn a barn
which is built along a row of pine
trees, the wind does not have the
same opportunity to blow the
snow off the roof and greater
loads can be experienced. In the
Exeter area, the snow load for
roof design purposes is about 25
lb. pei sq. ft. for an exposed roof
and and about 33 lb. per sq, ft. for
a sheltered roof. These loads have
both doubled by the time we get
up to Clifford, and in this area
many roof trusses are put at 32 in.... ;
on centre for the extra strength
that is needed.
The numbers quoted here may
not mean much to the farmer who
is going to build, but it is
important that he at least be
aware of the different forces
acting on his building, Help in
