Effective lengths of struts in simple construction D1 Stanchions for single storey buildings (see 4,7.2|c)) D.1.1 Typical cases Figures 17 to 21 illustrate how the effective lengthe of typical stanchions in single storey buildings may be determined provided the following conditions apply. (a) tn the plane of the diagram the stanchions act as cantilevers tied together by the roof trusses, but in this plane the tops of the stanchions are not otherwise held in position or restrained in direction.
