ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A load sharing structure of timber trusses and bridging beams is arranged such that both the top and the bottom faces of the bridging beams are in a face-to-face engagement with the respective parts of the trusses through which the beams pass. A timber truss for use in the structure comprises an upper chord, a lower chord and a zig-zag arranged web members there- between. The web section of the truss further includes generally vertical reinforcement beams, each of the beams being provided at one side thereof with ledge means for supporting a bridging beam of a load supporting structure of the type of a roof or floor structure of a building or the like. The ledges in the vertical beams, together with bridging members, increase the resistance of the overall structure against vertical components of the load. The system has a slightly higher factor of safety than normal trusses of the type.
