 CHAPTER IV. BACKGROUND
Article 4
Human needs of transportation in the world is increasing every year. One of the most
efficient and people favourite transportation is Aircraft. Aircraft requirements is currently
registered increased at the level of 3,8% per year (source : Persatuan Insinyur Indonesia)
The increasing number of passengers automatically take part of increasing the number of
Aircraft production in the world. With this increasing number of aircraft production, a structural
building that is capable to protect the aircraft while not operating is needed.
Hangar is the solution of the requirement of a building that is capable to keep, repair, and
treat the aircraft. Roof Truss of the hangar is one of the vital component on the hangar structure
itself.
On International Roof Truss Competition with Arch Truss Design with Free Horizontal
Element for Hangar Building theme, participants is expected to solve the requirement problem of
aircraft hangar roof truss. On this competition, participant is encouraged to create and design a
hangar roof truss on arch shape with free space component on the lower part of the truss
structure of the aircraft hangar. With the availability of a free space component, we can use the
space as a versatile storage so the structure of the truss will be much more efficient.
International Roof Truss Competition is the innovation form of National Roof Truss
Design which extended in to the international level. This competition will be joined by
Undergraduate Student of Civil Engineering University. Top 15 team will be chosen as finalist
and will be invited to construct, present, and test the truss directly.
