Hello All, Recently came across a project with some interesting features where a contractor had renovated and build a flat roof on one half of an existing pitched home. (see photo) Each 2x6 rafter is now subjected to a point load of 720lbs spanning 13' What kind of solutions would their be...

Hello All, I have a question about hurricane clips in roof rafters (see attached photo) Rafters are clipped to walls on each side (beside 2x6s see attached photo), however they are not clipped to the beam Contractor has clipped to the bottom of the beam with 2x6s where the drywall will be...

Ron247 the 12'-11'' span has the joists running parallel therefore not picking up a UDL and instead picking up a point load from another beam at the end (1.68 kips).

Yes I have the new beam with DL on left only (0.9 factor) and a live/dead point load from bathroom (factored) only. see attached as you can see there is about 800lbs of uplift force on the beam in this worst case scenario.

little to no exposure to wind and does not govern, my worry is a full loading on the right span (where master bath is) and say little to no LL on left span causing a large uplift force on left support
