Ken and Daiku thank you both. You certainly have got me thinking. I'm actually not involved in the design processes for the said hammer beam trusses. I simply want to have a feel for the layout. Never the less I do appreciate the wise words and I'm sure at some point in my career I will be faced with design considerations.
I guess the bottom line is to pay attention to what is tried tested and true.
Thanks for the reference.
By the way Hamilton is in Ontario, Canada
Cheers,
