Do truss clips (simpson STC/DTC) make any sense with low-pitch roofs framed with I-Joists? Typically I've seen them with actual roof trusses, where unexpected point support under certain chords could be detrimental to the overall structure. But I'm trying to understand what the reasoning for...
I'm trying to check the work of my structural engineer. He's got 5/8" anchor bolts spaced at 8"OC attaching a sill plate to the top of a basement 6" ICF wall. Joists hang off the sill plate. 1-1/8" floor sheathing attaches to the top of the sill plate with 2 rows of #8 screws 4"OC. Say's...
I'm wondering if one of you could comment on my roof detail. I'm going for a shed-style roof with a 4' overhang that's really "thin" looking. So the main/interior roof is framed with 14" TJIs and then I've nailed a 2x6 on the side that cantilevers over to provide the overhang. Not really a...
Quick question for ya'all. Here's the framing plan for the shed-style roof I'm working on
So we've got a a 3-4' overhang all around. Not a big deal. Rim joist connection is generally pretty irrelevant in that it's not really holding much (if any) load. EXCEPT for the part labeled (in red) A...
I've got a steel beam coming in perpendicular to an ICF wall). It sits on top of the wall (no pocket per-se). Both ends of the beam are supported the same way. Normally I would just drop a bearing plate with non-shrink grout and then weld the beam to the plate at the job site. However...
