Abstract
The present invention provides a joining structure of a roof truss using thin light-gauge shaped steel. In a joining structure for joining a subsidiary roof with a main roof, a valley bracket formed by bending a thin steel sheet is inserted and disposed in the longitudinal valley direction of a joining member for joining a rafter forming the subsidiary roof with a truss or a rafter forming the main roof. In a joining structure in which a roof truss upper chord member or a rafter intersects a wall on the upper surface of the wall, a bracket formed by bending a thin steel sheet is disposed at the intersection of these members and fixes the roof truss upper chord member or the rafter to the wall. In a joining structure for the connecting top of the roof truss upper chord member or the rafter, a thin steel sheet member is disposed at the connecting top to fix an end of the roof truss upper chord member or the rafter with an end of a strut, and a box-shaped bracket formed by bending a thin steel sheet to have box-like receiving sections is provided at a top of the thin steel sheet member, for fixing top cleat members.
