T and C indicate Tension In "post and beam" construction, the posts are the naturally strong component, because they are extremely strong on compression. For example, a six-by-six of a relatively low compressive strength of 1,150 to 1AOO inch-pounds per square inch (you don't really have to know what this unit means to get the point here; I certainly don't) will support 32,800 pounds at eight feet of height.
If not called upon to provide a joining surface for two consecutive girts, these intermediate posts can be less substantial, thus less expensive. An example of this is our garage at Earthwood. 5-meter) structure. In addition, we have eight-by-eights halfway along the walls. 3 centimeter) dimension corresponds with the 8-inch thickness of the wall. , . ,.

If you can plug numbers into a formula, you may wish to follow through the examples of Appendix B: Stress Load Calculations for Shear and Bending. But, in . . reality, for more conventional (non-earth) roof systems, Just use eXlstlOg engineered span tables, like the one in Appendix A.
