Sprinkler Loads on Trusses Educational Presentation

Introduction Building Designers need to specify dead and live loads of both fire sprinkler systems and other load requirements imposed under the model building codes. Truss Designers are responsible for incorporating the additional load from the fire sprinkler systems into the truss design.

Introduction This presentation applies to: Floor systems Roof system Vertical loads only from fire sprinkler systems The requirements discussed are considered standard in the industry and are presented as a guide. Specific designs should be confirmed with local building authorities, who may have unique regulations not addressed in this report. The guidelines provided in this presentation are not intended to exclude alternative solutions for specific projects that have been designed by a qualified Registered Design Professional.

Key Definitions Builder Designer (ANSI/TPI 1 Section 2.2) The owner of the building or the person that contracts with the owner for the design of the framing structural system and/or who is responsible for the preparation of the construction documents. When mandated by the legal requirements, the Building Designer shall be a registered design professional. Dead Load (IBC Section 202) The weight of materials of construction incorporated into the building, including but not limited to walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, stairways, built-in partitions, finishes, cladding and other similarly incorporated architectural and structural items, and the weight of fixed service equipment, such as cranes, plumbing stacks and risers, electrical feeders, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems and automatic sprinkler systems. Live Load (IBC Section 202) A load produced by the use and occupancy of the building or other structure that does not include construction or environmental loads such as wind load, snow load, rain load, earthquake load, flood load or dead load. Fire Sprinkler System A system of pipes and accessories that distribute and discharge water to protect a structure and its occupants from damage or injury due to fire. In a truss system, the pipes are usually supported by the truss top chords, although sometimes they may be suspended from the bottom chord.

Key Definitions Panel (See Figure 1) Panel Length (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) Panel Point (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) Panel Point Figure 1 Panel/Panel Length Panel Point Figure 2

Key Definitions Registered Design Professional (RDP): (IBC Section 202) An individual who is registered or licensed to practice their respective design profession as defined by the statutory requirements of the professional registration laws of the state or jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. Truss Designer (ANSI/TPI 1 Section 2.2) The person responsible for the preparation of the truss design drawings. Truss Manufacturer (ANSI/TPI 1 Section 2.2) An individual or organization engaged in the manufacturing of trusses.

Background Fire sprinkler systems are an effective method of providing fire protection, though when used with truss systems, must be designed correctly to carry the additional dead load and required live loads. Automatic fire sprinkler systems provide protection to a building and its contents from damage due to fire, and protection from injury of the occupants. Commercial Multifamily Residential Construction Also provides improved protection from injury of the building’s occupants.

Background Open webbing of truss construction makes trusses highly compatible with other building trades. Water lines for sprinkler systems can be run through the open webbing. Trusses can easily be designed to accommodate concentrated loads imposed by sprinkler systems. Water Lines Water Lines

Background Building Designer needs to: Consider loads imposed on the truss system. Provide the Truss Designer with loads imposed on the truss system. Allows the Truss Designer to make provisions in the truss design for the structural effects of the fire sprinkler systems.

Application The Building Designer must provide the Truss Designer with: The uniform load to account for the dead weight of the fire sprinkler system. The location and magnitude of any concentrated dead loads required that are not covered by the uniform load.

Application Loads generally expressed in pounds per square foot (psf). Truss Design Dead Loads Building Designer Include adequate additional dead load allowance in the truss design loads Weight of the fire sprinkler system. Magnitude of the dead loads Not specifically addressed in: NFPA 13 standards IBC ASCE 7 Must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Loads generally expressed in pounds per square foot (psf).

Application Fire sprinkler system can be supported from either the top chord or the bottom chord of the truss. Building Designer provides information on construction documents. Alternatively, concentrated dead loads for the sprinkler system may be given when attachment locations are known. Typical concentrated sprinkler loads range from 1.5-6 PSF. Depends on pipe size and hanger spacing. The Truss Designer designs the trusses for the additional dead loads. Truss Manufacturer incorporates supplied information into truss designs. Always consult the Building Designer or delegated Engineer of the sprinkler system to obtain the dead loads to be used in the truss design. 

Application Installation and maintenance Loads In addition to the dead load of the water-filled pipe, Truss Designers should design trusses to support a minimum concentrated live load of 250 lbs. Load to be applied at the point of attachment of any single fire sprinkler. Not simultaneously to all support points. The 250-lb. live load need not be considered simultaneously with other live loads (i.e., roof, snow, wind, etc.). The 250-lb. live load provision is intended to accommodate the weight of sprinkler installation personnel for a very short time (load duration factor of 2.0, impact load). Sprinkler 250 lb live load

Application Multiple sprinkler lines attached to the same truss Apply 250-lb. load at only one location at a time. Sprinkler 1 Sprinkler 1 Sprinkler 2 Sprinkler 2

Application In residential sprinkler system installations NFPA 13D assumes that sprinkler system will use the domestic water delivery system. May not need to account for additional dead loads. Truss designs and the fire sprinkler system design still needs to be coordinated. Eliminate conflicts for sprinkler head location or pipe runs. Pipe

Application Structural Considerations Trusses are capable of supporting significantly higher loads at panel points than in the spaces between the panel points. Location of the pipe support in relation to the panel points of the truss should be included in the analysis. Panel Point Panel Point Panel Point

Installation Considerations Large diameter pipe lines (4" or greater), and significant risers and lines running parallel to trusses may require special design provisions and/or additional members. Pilot holes are required for all screws.

Installation Considerations Locating supports within truss panels containing chord splices should be avoided. Connections shall be sized in accordance with NFPA 13 or the applicable NFPA standard and NDS or an approved design. Bottom Chord Splice Sprinkler Load Bottom Chord Splice Sprinkler Load

Installation Considerations No more than one fire sprinkler system support attached to each truss panel. Sprinkler 1 Sprinkler 2 Sprinkler 1 Sprinkler 2

Installation Considerations If more than one fire sprinkler system support is needed in one panel: Special engineering required A Registered Design Professional should be contracted
