The truss-framed system can lead to greater efficiency in construction. In order to determine if conventional truss analysis techniques are applicable to this system, a full-scale assembly was evaluated under floor and roof loading. Measured deflections were within 10 percent of those predicted, which indicates that designers can use available techniques to predict deflection performance.
