Dachausmittlung -- Rake Wall Geometric Roof Design

This example of Dachausmittlung, Geometric Roof Design, was too see if I could could up with any theories on the geometric roof design construction lines for the sloping/raking eave lines. The roof ground plan is square, 10.00, with equal pitched roof slopes, 40°, and with the sloping/raking eave rising 1.5.


Ground Plan.

First develop the sloping/raking construction lines that define the direction of the averaging/hip rafter intersecting lines.

In Manfred Euchner's book he uses lines that are tangent to a circle using the rise of the sloping/raking eave line, but I think it's easier to use a framing square, with the 1.5cm on the one corner and swing the framing square until it intersects with the other corner.

Framing Square intersecting at corner of ground plan with the sloping/raking eave rise to establish the averaging/hip rafter intersecting lines.


Draw the averaging/hip rafter intersecting lines and draw the hip rafter run lines through the intersecting lines.


Draw the construction lines for the Sectional Area of the Intersection of the Roof Planes. This area represents a level plane of the intersection of the roof planes.


Drawings showing the Sectional Area of the Intersection of the Roof Planes.




Theories: I'm still not sure about all the geometrical theories for developing the geometric roof design with sloping/raking eave, but this last drawing showing the eave angles, roof slope angles, hip rafter slope angles suggest that this particular ground plan can be calculated using some trigonometry.  The only real theory I can could up with is using the 1.5 rise tangent to the corner opposite of the raking eave line develops a level plane of the intersecting roof planes. That represents the eave angles to use with trigonometry to calculate the rest of the roof.  I just need a way to find plan angles without knowing the true slope angle of the roof plane on the raking eaves(44.99930°).

  1. Use the sloping eave rise to establish the eave angles. In this drawing the sloping  eave line has a rise of 1.5 and the length of the ground plan is 10.00. 
  2. arcsin(1.5 ÷ 10.00) = 8.62692°
  3. Eave angle = 90° + 8.62692° = 98.62692°  
  4. Eave angle = 90° - (2 x 8.65692°) = 72.74614°


The eave lines are all suppose to be sloping at 40°, however the sloping/raking eave lines do not. With the raking eave lines not at a 40° roof slope angle it's hard to take the trigonometry any future.  So, once again this theoretical roof design can only be calculated using geometry at this time.

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...

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.
