Abstract

To provide a roof structure free from generation of a dead space, capable of reducing a load moment. A roof structure including a roof ( 1 ) supported by a post ( 2 ) is a cantilever structure having the front end of the roof ( 1 ) formed in a free end and the rear end connected to the upper end of the post ( 2 ). The lower end of the post ( 2 ) is fixed in a concrete foundation ( 5 ). The post ( 2 ) is tilted with the upper end directed backward and with the lower end directed forward. A counter moment cm generated on the post ( 2 ) at the time of application of a load to the roof ( 1 ) reduces a load moment (M) generated by the load, thereby bringing the post ( 2 ) into an advantageous state in strength. The configuration of the post ( 2 ) with two post members and a vertical connecting member ( 10 ) connecting the post members facilitates the construction of the post ( 2 ) to be tilted at a desired angle.

Claims (20)

1. A roof structure comprising:

a post which is made of aluminum and comprises two post members parallel to each other; and

a roof supported by only the post,

wherein the roof structure is a cantilever structure having a front end of the roof formed in a free end and a rear end connected to an upper end of the post,

a lower end of the post is buried and fixed in a concrete foundation in a ground,

a rear end of the concrete foundation is positioned in front of the rear end of the roof,

the post is tilted with the upper end directed backward and with the lower end directed forward, and

a tilting angle of the post against a ground level is 65 to 85 degrees.

2. The roof structure according to claim 1 , wherein the post includes a vertical connecting member connecting the two post members, and the vertical connecting member is installed vertically to a ground level.

3. The roof structure according to claim 1 , wherein the two post members are connected to each other at lower ends by a lower end connecting member having an L-shape in cross section.

4. A construction method of the roof structure according to claim 2 , the construction method comprising the step of:

fixing the post in the ground, while keeping the vertical connecting member vertical to the ground level.

5. A roof structure comprising:

a roof,

a post comprising two post members, which support the roof, and

a vertical connecting member, which connects the two post members to each other,

wherein the post is tilted with respect to a ground level, and the vertical connecting member is provided vertically to the ground level; and

the two post members are connected to each other at lower ends by a lower end connecting member having an L-shape in cross section.

6. A construction method of the roof structure according to claim 5 , the construction method comprising the step of:

fixing the post in the ground, while keeping the vertical connecting member vertical to the ground level.
