The present invention relates to a structural member (10) for the use as a chord (41, 42) for forming a roof truss (40) for a building. The invention in one aspect broadly resides in an elongated open structural (10) member having a cross section including a minor flange (12), a major flange (13), and a web (14) interconnecting said flanges and having a section axis (11a) at right anglesto the longitudinal axis (11b) of the structural member (10) and passing through the flanges (12, 13) and wherein said web (14) includes a linear portion (17) substantially coincident with the section axis (11a) and a divergent portion (18) which extends to one side of said section axis (11a); said minor flange (12) extends to said one side of said section axis (11a); said major flange (13) extends from said divergent portion (18) to the opposite side of said section axis (11a), and the section configuration being such that an inverted and reversed corresponding open member is nestable within said open structural member (10) with their respective linear section portions (17) alongside one another and with each minor flange (12) located in an abutting relationship against the underside of the adjacent major flange (13).

La présente invention a trait à un élément de charpente (10) destiné à être utilisé comme membrure (41, 42) et ce, dans le but de former une ferme de charpente (40) d'un bâtiment. Selon un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne essentiellement un élément de charpente (10) allongé et ouvert dont la section transversale comporte un petit rebord (12), un grand rebord (13), et une âme (14) reliant lesdits rebords. Cet élément présente un axe de section (11a) qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal (11b) de l'élément de charpente (10) et qui traverse les rebords (12, 13). Ladite âme (14) comporte une partie linéaire (17), qui coïncide sensiblement avec l'axe de section (11a), et une partie divergente (18) qui s'étend en direction d'une zone située à côté dudit axe de section (11a). Ledit petit rebord (12) s'étend en direction de cette zone située à côté dudit axe de section (11a). Ledit grand rebord (13) s'étend à partir de ladite partie divergente (18) par rapport à la zone opposée à celle qui est située à côté dudit axe de section (11a), la configuration de la section étant telle qu'un élément correspondant ouvert inverse et renversé puisse s'emboîter à l'intérieur dudit élément de charpente ouvert (10), ces parties présentant une section linéaire de ces éléments (17) étant située l'une à côté de l'autre et chaque petit rebord (12) étant disposé abouté contre la face inférieure du grand rebord adjacent (13).
