— Conventional roof rafters and ceiling joists are less often used in new home construction these days. In fact,nearly 80% of homes built today use pre-manufactured roof trusses instead of traditional rafters to support the roof. Alsoin this contemporary world people are using the roof shielded at the top for avoiding the water leakage through the wallsand beams of old structures. In this paper considering roof truss with two crossection. The shapes are double cantilevertruss. When wind load acts on these truss shapes the behaviour of the structure and the impact over the floor is changed.So a study is done using computational techniques to get the deformed structural results. The trusses are modelled, andusing FEM techniques the model is analysed using ANSYS software. The flexibility in the roof design and complexity thatroof trusses enable have also made them increasingly popular. With today’s home styles, more complex roof designs,angles, cross gables and other features have added cost, which can be at least partially offset by using pre-manufacturedroof trusses rather than building a roof frame on site. For computational ease symmetry sections are modelled. The windload conditions are taken according to the standard and locality of the structures.
