Wow! Thanks for a very interesting thread. I did not anticipate this much response. I'd love to discuss architect-structural engineer relationship but I am under the gun on this project so here is what I came up with. (please see the attachment).
I have decided to put moment connections at...
Thanks to all the responses.
The outrigger is part of an architectural feature so it has to be W6.
I have over 250 outriggers so the number of moment connections will have to be minimized to reduce cost.
Please refer to the attached roof framing plan.
W9x9 cantilevered 8'-0" from column line L. They are fully welded to W24x55. W12x14 are provided for lateral buckling.
I'm trying to avoid a complicated torsional analysis on the W24x55 along L. Is this possible?
Please advise.
