Most sloped roofs are supported by a purlin bracing system. A board the same size as or larger than that of the rafters is placed on edge perpendicular to the rafters and attached on the bottom side of the rafters. Legs are then placed under the purlin brace and with the top notched under the purlin and the bottom placed on and attached to the top of a wall, thus transferring the weight of the roof from the rafters to the top of the walls.

The skeletal system provides the framework to support the body.
A roof joist is a horizontal beam that supports the ceiling below, while a roof rafter is a sloped beam that supports the roof itself. Joists help distribute the weight of the roof and ceiling, while rafters provide the framework for the roof's shape and support the weight of the roof materials.
The hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx form the framework that supports the lower abdomen. These bones provide stability and structure to the pelvic region, enabling it to bear weight and support the organs in the lower abdomen. Additionally, the pelvic bones serve as attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help with movement and support of the abdomen.
world leaders agreed to limit construction of large warships.
The recommended type of support beam for floor joists in a residential construction project is typically a steel I-beam or a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beam. These beams provide strong support for the floor joists and help distribute the weight of the structure evenly.
The connective tissue that makes the supporting framework of lymphoid organs is called reticular tissue. It provides structural support by forming a network of reticular fibers and cells that help to organize and support the immune cells in lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes and the spleen.
Sister joists are used in construction projects to provide additional support and reinforcement to existing joists. They help distribute weight more evenly and prevent sagging or structural issues in the building.
cytoskeleton
A kicker block is a structural component often used in construction and woodworking to provide additional support and stability to a framework or assembly. Typically made from wood or engineered materials, it is installed at the corners or junctions of beams and joists to help distribute loads and prevent movement. Kicker blocks are essential in ensuring the integrity of structures, particularly in areas subject to stress or vibration.
A sloped surface is used to help lift a load up.
Attic joists in a house's construction provide structural support for the attic floor and help distribute the weight of the roof and any stored items in the attic evenly across the walls and foundation of the house.
