XR250,
The h8 are at 16" on center and there is a note stating that the studs must align with the roof joist.
Regarding the sheating along the back of the parapet (the right side of the stud, per the sketch), I don't quite follow your shear load pad. Lets say that your diaphragm's shear at...
Hello,
I am designing a wood structure that has a 3'-6" parapet. Im using a 2x ledger to support a top mounted hanger that ultimately suppors the joist. A 2x blocking is provided to transfer the diaphragm shear into the shearwall.
Should I consider cross grain bending, I am not using bolts...
First image looks blurry, let me try again.

Hello Guys,
Im working on a remodel where we are installing an interior ridge beam, please se the attached image. My main concern is attaching the end rafter to the knee wall. Have you guys done something similar?
Thank you...
JAE, here is a sketch for the diaphragm. I see the ridge beam acting as a chord with the north to south loading. Im having difficulties when I reverse the load. It seems that half of the roof (dormer side) is cantilevered and just goes for a ride north.
Regards.
Thank you Kootk, I will explore your second alternative.
Thank you JAE, Im still trying to digest the idea of only using one side of the roof and ridge beam as a chord.
Hello,
I am working on a new wood framed building. There are several dormers where the double top plate will have a discontinuity. Please see the attached sketch.
Based on diaphragm design, the chord force is around 2.5 kips. My question is the following, how do I connect the plates at...
