I'm not an expert in weld design, but here's some quick feedback: Seems to me this should be 0.707*(allowable stress)*(weld size). If...

No, I think you're getting a few things mixed up here. "hip carries half the load" is in fact accurate. The cos45 factor mentioned by...

Hmm, I design both as beams unless all the rafters come down to a sheathed floor. To answer the OP's question, for a 45 deg. (in plan)...

It's difficult to model the roller support, but I think this is reasonably accurate:

Stage 1 - Prepare to support the remaining masonry block wall by grinding out part of the horizontal mortar joint and inserting an angle...

I typically design it as though it were a horizontal beam, except that for steep pitch roofs I account for extra dead load since there's...

My beam spreadsheet is setup to account for the roof pitch Some of it comes out in the wash though 1/ Gravity loads are larger due to...

We always use the full snow load (or slightly higher than code min.) and just use the plan view trib area on ridge beam.

Sounds good, as long as that's doable from a constructability standpoint.

Fine, then back to 10N. I’d question if this statement is really true though. I’ll admit I’m having trouble visualizing this support...

How is the connection between the existing wall and shear stud made? I don’t understand that part of it. Overall, this makes sense though

If the roller can resist moment, then there are a total of 4 unknowns with 3 equations to solve them. Therefore the problem is...

I'm curious what the trick here is (considering you're getting PHDs involved), but I'll take a shot: Joint A must be in equilibrium, so...

Perhaps this isn't super helpful, but I'm not sure where to direct you other than refer to someone else's plans. Podium/pedestal...

Yikes! I believe the shear values in that table (and other similar tables) are only intended for walls with studs spaced at a maximum...
