Objectives
At the end of this session, students are
able to;
• Identify different type of roof and able to
describe / draw them in detail
• Describe UBBL requirement regarding
roof construction
• Describe / label all roof component with
appropriate term
Roof: classification
• Classification by general shape,
material used – from previous lecture
• Classification by plane of outer surface
• Criterion – nos. of surface, slope
direction, overall shape
Type of roof (by plane of outer surface)
• Gable roof
• Two surfaces with two slope direction
Gable Roof
Type of roof (by plane of outer surface)
• Hip roof
• 4 surfaces with 4 slope direction
Hip Roof
Type of roof (by plane of outer surface)
• Gambrel roof
• 4 surfaces with 2 slope direction
• 2 different slope amount (pitch)
Gambrel Roof
Type of roof (by plane of outer surface)
• Mansard roof

Roof construction regarding UBBL
span
Roof Terminology
Measurement terminology
• Total run – horizontal distance over
which a rafter rises
Total run
Roof Terminology
Measurement terminology
• Total rise – total vertical distance that
the roof rises
Total rise
Roof Terminology
Measurement terminology
• Line length – hypotenuse of a triangle
formed with its base as the total run and
its other leg as the total rise

Roof Terminology
Measurement terminology
• Pitch – the amount of slope of a roof,
usually expressed in the degree (of the
angle) or in a fraction found by dividing
the total rise by the span
