I agree there are many "issues" with this ---I am meeting the folks on site tomorrow to get the real scoop. The dimensions I have been given (and pics) show a difference in depth of the 2x12's. The problem is also with the dimensions of the porch. I am getting the impression after speaking with...

We are submitting a...
Folks-
Hopefully you all can settle a disagreement. The subject is a steel rigid frame--roof only, and the discussion is whether the drift limit is H/60, or as the Designer quotes from the UFC-3-301-01 Structural Engineering Chapter 2 Modifications to IBC, 2-1.2.1 1604.3 Serviceability...
