Golden Rhombus Study

Joe Bartok's study on the Golden Rhombus. 
_________________________________________________________
And I stumbled across something else regarding the backing angles. I think it's universal in scope – not only the Golden Rhombus but for any tri-rectangular tetrahedron – no matter how we chose to cut the Hip rafters. I have to make a couple of sketches first.

Everything we've talked about in this series of emails reaches much farther than the Golden Rhombus Roof. It works for Archimedean Solids. It applies to tri-rectangular tetrahedra in general, and there are lots of those in a Hip-Valley roof. Where there’s a tri-rectangular tetrahedron there’s always a prismatic solid. And all the foregoing geometry ties into Non-Rectangular Sections
.. my brain is going to have a meltdown ...

As I studied the dihedral angles in the Golden Rhombus I've wondered whether the backing angles are somehow entangled in a manner similar to a layover type roof. Or another example is square cut fascia, to cut along the P2 lines we use the backing angle from the opposing side of the roof.

The developed tetrahedra are exactly the same as the pentahedra except that the lines have been produced so the tiny triangles of the Hip Slope Angles disappear. When I resolved the dimensions – voila! – the backing bevels from both sides of the roof appeared. I back-tracked, did a bit more sketching, and found the formulas:

Adjoining Backing Angle = arctan (cos Sum of Angles on Roof Surface / tan Main Backing Angle)
Main Backing Angle = arctan (cos Sum of Angles on Roof Surface / tan Adjoining Backing Angle)

The backing angles and sum of the angles on the roof surface will be constants for a given roof condition so these formulas are true for any tri-rectangular tetrahedron or prismatic solid. Regardless of where we put the section plane in the tri-rectangular tetrahedron-prismatic solid those triangles of the backing angles will always appear in the two developed irregular tetrahedra.

Another result of the Golden Rhombus study – some new tri-rectangular tetrahedron relationships. The angles doesn't have to be strictly P2 and C5 as in the Golden Rhombus roof, angles in the same location on the theoretical model can substitute. These are the seven (there may be more) tri-rectangular tetrahedra in a standard Hip-Valley roof.

SS =  Main Slope = 7/12
S = Adjoining Slope = 10/12
W = Eave Angle = 90°
The supplementary angle is used where the sums of angles exceeded 90°.
(1) 90° Corner Post Angles:
R4Pm = 32.27594°
R4Pa = 52.19482°
R4Pm + R4Pa = 84.47076°
A5Pm = 14.31575°
A5Pa = 20.68538°
A5Pm = arctan (cos 84.47076° / tan 20.68538°) = 14.31575°
A5Pa = arctan (cos 84.47076° / tan 14.31575°) = 20.68538°




(2) Valley intersects Principal Purlin, unbacked Upper Shoulder
90° – R4Pm = 57.72406°
R3m = 30.06455°
90° – R4Pm + R3m = 87.78861°
A5Pm = 14.31575°
C2m = 8.59840°
A5Pm = arctan (cos 87.78861° / tan 8.59840°) = 14.31575°
C2m = arctan (cos 87.78861° / tan 14.31575°) = 8.59840°

(3) Prow Peak Angles (same as Rafter Square Cut)
90° – P2m = 58.84094°
90° – P5m = 39.02105°
180° – (90° – P2m + 90° – P5m) = 82.13801°
C5m = 16.79517°
P5BVm = 24.38004°
C5m = arctan (cos 82.13801° / 24.38004°) = 16.79517°
P5BVm = arctan (cos 82.13801° / 16.79517°) = 24.38004°

(4) Purlin Square Cut
90° – P4m = 61.73098°
P2m = 31.15906°
180° – (90° – P4m  + P2m) = 87.10996°
P4BVm = 9.48356°
C5m = 16.79517°

P4BVm = arctan (cos 87.10996° / 16.79517°) = 9.48356°
C5m = arctan (cos 87.10996° / 9.48356°) = 16.79517°


(5) Jack Rafter and Purlin Angles
90° – R1 = 64.45755°
90° – R2m = 80.08972°
180° – (90° – R1 + 90° – R2) = 35.45273°
DD = 55.00798°
C1m = 29.69248°

DD = arctan (cos 35.45273° / 29.69248°) = 55.00798°
C1m = arctan (cos 35.45273° / 55.00798°) = 29.69248°

(6) Valley Peak intersects Principal Purlin, housing angles on Principal Purlin
90° – P3m = 75.51799°
Q2m = 85.05377°
180° – (90° – P3m + Q2m) = 19.42824°
90° – P2m = 58.84094°
C1m = 29.69248°
90° – P2m = arctan (cos 19.42824° / tan 29.69248°) = 58.84094°
C1m = arctan (cos 19.42824° / tan 58.84094°) = 29.69248°

(7) Valley Foot intersects Main Common Rafter, housing angles on Common Rafter
90° – R5Pm = 68.61971°
90° – P6m = 81.12385°
180° – (90° – R5Pm + 90° – P6m) = 30.25644°
DD = 55.00798°
P2m = 31.15906°
DD = arctan (cos 30.25644° / tan 31.15906°) = 55.00798°
P2m = arctan (cos 30.25644° / tan 55.00798°) = 31.15906°

Layover Valley Rafter Basics

Gambar
Before I get into the Hexenschnitt for the Layover Valley Rafter I needed to review the basic geometry that defines the layover valley rafter. I needed to make sure I could draw the layover valley rafter correctly in plan view (ground plan). Here's one method of a basic drawing using the layover valley rafter backing triangle to position the layover valley rafter material on the roof surface that defines the  layover valley rafter in plan view. The  layover valley rafter top bevel is easily defined by extending the  layover valley rafter backing triangle to the top of the  layover valley rafter. The other  layover valley rafter line in plan view is defined by the bottom edge of the  layover valley rafter material sitting on the  layover valley rafter backing triangle. (Roof Surface). The  layover valley rafter plan view lines at the intersection of the two roofs. I tried this method for drawing the  layover valley rafter, but this method seems to be slow of a process for determinin

Hip Rafter Edge Bevel and Backing Angle

In complex roof framing there are 7 main roof framing angles. Hip Rafter Backing Angle Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle Plain Titl (DP) Main Plan Angle Adjacent Plan Angle  Main Profile Rafter Slope Angle Adjacent Profile Rafter Slope Angle In this article I will discuss the hip rafter backing angle and the valley sleeper bevel angle. These two angles determine the miter angle and and saw blade bevel angles for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are plumb to the earth and for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are skewed from the eave line. A thorough knowledge of these two angles is critical in complex roof framing using geometry or trigonometry. The hip rafter edge bevel was avoided in the 12th century on some roof structures by rotating the hip rafter into the roof surface plane. However, by avoiding the hip rafter edge bevel, the carpenters-builders had to have a knowledge of the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle. They didn't call it the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle, but it's the same

Layover Valley Rafter Hexenschnitt #3

In the book Das neue Buch vom alten Wissen der Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing Geometry by Bernd Küppers I'm stuck on page 23. The geometry in the book, just doesn't return the correct miter angle for the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut (Hexenschnitt). I don't know if I'm drawing it incorrectly, or the BE (Bottom Edge Plane of the Layover Valley Rafter) should be drawn differently. Similar drawing at File: Kehlbohle mit Hexenschnitt.jpg There's 3 canted planes that define the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut Miter Angle. The main roof surface, the square tail fascia plane of the main roof and the the square tail fascia plane of the adjacent roof.  I think the problem with my geometric drawings is defining the intersection of the roof surface with the adjacent  square tail fascia plane.
