Old Chibuko House

The roof structure of the Old Chibuko House was recently re-built and changed from wood to steel trusses. There is no rainwater collection system through gutters. There is a significant overhang of the roof and the last purlin is not supported by the roof truss. This may cause suction and potential up-lift of the roof. A design review of the new roof structure should be performed to determine the potential up-lift of this roof during a cyclone.
