Renting a Car 101 -- All the major car rental companies maintain kiosks within walking distance of the airport terminal on Grand Cayman, although some visitors find it easier to take a taxi to their hotel and arrange for their car to be delivered there.
In accordance with ASCE 7, a Drag Strut is a structural element (could be a truss) installed parallel to an applied load that collects and transfers diaphragm shear forces to the vertical-force-resisting element or distributes forces within the diaphragm or shear wall.
Struts and props are vertical elements which support and transfer the load from the purlins to the strutting beams. Strutting beam. Strutting beams support the roof members where there are no load bearing wall studs available. They transfer the load of the roof to load bearing walls. Strutting beams should only support roof loads, and not be used as ceiling joists. Top plate: A top plate is nailed to the top of wall studs. This is the plate that the roofing elements sit on, and effectively the meeting point of the walls and the roof structure. It supports the roof load and helps transfer it down load bearing walls and into the foundations. Truss. A truss is a piece of framework using triangular shapes.
