Cattle barn equipped with a sloping roof with fire-resistant panels

Abstract

Cattle barn equipped with a pitched roof with fire-resistant panels. Cattle barn 1 has a pitched roof 3 that rests on barn walls. The roof structure has a number of trusses 5 that are spaced apart. Each truss 5 has two rafter legs 7 that are attached to each other at the ridge of the roof and are angled downwards. The roof 3 also has a ceiling with fire-resistant panels 11 which are mainly made of magnesium oxide or fiber-reinforced concrete and which are positioned at a distance from the rafter legs 7. Roof covering 9 is present on the trusses 5. This consists, for example, of corrugated sheets. The fire-resistant panels 11 are parallel to the roof covering 9 and have a thickness that can vary between 1.5 and 12 mm. The roof covering 9 is supported by supports that are attached to purlins 15 via spacers 17. These purlins 15 are attached to the underside of the rafter legs 7 and extend perpendicularly to the rafter legs 7. (Figure 1)
