BAMBUTEC Roof-Truss Parabola
Features:
- Flexible shaping of the roof
- Improved statics due to curvature
- Up to 15% better heat insulation compared to a rafters roof due to less thermal bridges
- Up to 20% increase in housing space
- Interspace between the rods can be used for wiring etc.
- The window installation benefits from the more steep roof downwards
- Wide range of rod materials such as teak-, oak- or pinewood and bamboo is easily applicable
- Perfect ecological solution based on natural poles
The representation asumes 10 meter (33 feet) of width on the roof. The height above floor is 5 meters (16 feet). The original pitch of the roof related to the linear rafters truss was 45 degrees.
From the statics point of view as well as from practical consideration, the curvature in the roof causes a lot of advantages. The parabola is parametrizable to adapt the curve to the individual desires. At the same height of the roof, different curvatures are possible.
 The drawing shows in red lines the linear rafters roof. Due to the steep pitch at the bottom, the border of 2 meters level is shifted 1,15m towards the outer sides. As a result the housingspace increased in are such as 20% and in volume 6,8m3 per meter building lengthwise (see hatched area).
