Today, wood trusses are the most common way to frame the roof on a wood-framed building. They offer a high weight-to-strength ratio, long spans, good speed of installation, and a multitude of possibilities for the shape of the roof and the ceiling underneath. Wood trusses can be engineered to span over 25 m (80 ft), and buildings that require large clear spans, such as farm buildings, can also be accommodated.

To understand them, having a diverse team of knowledgeable and experienced investigators conduct the analysis can offer a significant advantage.
Accident Reconstruction, biomechanics and Evel Knievel: an unusual trio?
The biomechanics and accident reconstructions behind Evel Knievel’s spectacular feats (and injuries!). Understanding accidents and their consequences.
What’s the deal with Lithium-Ion batteries?
These batteries are gaining popularity and are found more and more often in everyday life: laptops, cell phones, power tools, bicycles and vehicles. However, they are not without flaws. In the past year alone, various manufacturers have recalled hundreds of thousands of hybrid cars. So what risk factors come into play?
Debunking Fraudulent Claims with Infotainment Units
Our collision reconstruction group receives lots of inquiries about fraudulent or questionable collision claims. Some of these questions can be resolved by closely inspecting vehicle damage. However, an entirely different set of questions can be addressed by digging into the data stored by a vehicle’s infotainment unit.
The Effects of Vibrations on Buildings
