Andrea Palladio
Andrea Palladio (Andrea Paładio; 30 November 1508 – 19 August 1580) was an Italian Renaissance architect active in the Venetian Republic.
See Timber roof truss and Andrea Palladio
Bay (architecture)
In architecture, a bay is the space between architectural elements, or a recess or compartment. Timber roof truss and bay (architecture) are architectural elements.
See Timber roof truss and Bay (architecture)
Beam (structure)
A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column).
See Timber roof truss and Beam (structure)
Bent (structural)
A bent in American English is a transverse rigid frame (or similar structures such as three-hinged arches). Timber roof truss and bent (structural) are architectural elements and timber framing.
See Timber roof truss and Bent (structural)
Hammerbeam roof
A hammerbeam roof is a decorative, open timber roof truss typical of English Gothic architecture and has been called "...the most spectacular endeavour of the English Medieval carpenter". Timber roof truss and hammerbeam roof are roofs and timber framing.
See Timber roof truss and Hammerbeam roof
Hugh Herland
Hugh Herland (c. 1330 – c. 1411) was a 14th-century medieval English carpenter.

King post
A king post (or king-post or kingpost) is a central vertical post used in architectural or bridge designs, working in tension to support a beam below from a truss apex above (whereas a crown post, though visually similar, supports items above from the beam below). Timber roof truss and king post are architectural elements and timber framing.
See Timber roof truss and King post
Mortise and tenon
A mortise and tenon (occasionally mortice and tenon) joint connects two pieces of wood or other material. Timber roof truss and mortise and tenon are timber framing.
See Timber roof truss and Mortise and tenon
Purlin
A purlin (or historically purline, purloyne, purling, perling) is a longitudinal, horizontal, structural member in a roof. Timber roof truss and purlin are roofs and timber framing.
See Timber roof truss and Purlin
Queen post
A queen post is a tension member in a truss that can span longer openings than a king post truss. Timber roof truss and queen post are architectural elements.
See Timber roof truss and Queen post
Rafter
A rafter is one of a series of sloped structural members such as steel beams that extend from the ridge or hip to the wall plate, downslope perimeter or eave, and that are designed to support the roof shingles, roof deck, roof covering and its associated loads. Timber roof truss and rafter are roofs.
See Timber roof truss and Rafter
Reciprocal frame
A reciprocal frame is a class of self-supporting structure made of three or more beams and which requires no center support to create roofs, bridges or similar structures. Timber roof truss and reciprocal frame are timber framing.
See Timber roof truss and Reciprocal frame
Tie (engineering)
A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension.
See Timber roof truss and Tie (engineering)
Timber framing
Timber framing and "post-and-beam" construction are traditional methods of building with heavy timbers, creating structures using squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs.
See Timber roof truss and Timber framing
Truss
A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure. Timber roof truss and truss are architectural elements.
See Timber roof truss and Truss
Truss bridge
A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements, usually forming triangular units.
See Timber roof truss and Truss bridge
Truss connector plate
A truss connector plate, or gang plate, is a kind of tie.
See Timber roof truss and Truss connector plate
United States
The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
See Timber roof truss and United States
Westminster Hall
Westminster Hall is a large medieval great hall which is part of the Palace of Westminster in London, England.
