Long (Attention) Span: Trusses Over 60 Feet Present Bracing Challenges

"There's something wrong with your trusses!"

“Think more about the problems customers face and figure out a way you can solve it by improving upon what you already produce.”

BCMC attendees brought their athletic skills to the BCMC show in San Antonio.

The truss industry’s innovative products and software form the link between new science-based discoveries and their application.
The mission of any professional engineering endeavor is to deploy innovative materials, designs or methods of construction that meet or exceed all regulations, protect the consumer and preserve free and unfettered competition as the rule of trade.

A renewed sense of optimism was everywhere you looked on the BCMC show floor.
For the first time in six years, BCMC was exciting, encouraging and fun! Everyone was smiling.
The CM Roundtable is where the issues that will define our industry going forward are raised and hashed out. The next CM Roundtable is in Tucson. I guarantee it is worth the investment to attend.

For every step in your process, there is an industry best practice program developed with your operations in mind to help you succeed.

The SBC Research Institute (SBCRI) acts as our industry’s “flux capacitor” and will transport us to a brave new world of construction we haven’t seen before.
The future is now and our industry only has two choices—we can each grasp at it individually, or we can hold onto it firmly through a collective effort.
One of the best places to get active in SBCA is by attending a component manufacturer’s-only roundtable discussion at a SBCA Open Quarterly Meeting (OQM).

Don't miss all that this year's show has to offer in San Antonio!

When the new Bell Park Pavilion in Greenwood, AR, needed a roof, Capital Structures provided a solution with these glulam beam trusses.
