1 hr confidence: 
roofs exerting lower thrust Explanation: We talk of "thrust" rather than pressure in this context. I suppose you could say "lower thrust roofs" like the Italian. It would probably be clear enough (although there are no Google hits). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2012-10-06 07:18:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Having checked your drawing link, thrust is even more appropriate, since there are no roof trusses and the lateral forces are restrained with the use of tie bars. |
