I use the horizontal projection for span when considering all gravity loads. Dead load must be increased by a slope factor.1) Do you use the horizontal projection for the span and loads?
A gravity load may be resolved into normal and parallel components but the roof diaphragm does not resist the parallel component.2) Isn't there a component of force parallel to the top chord? Does the roof diaphragm resist this load?
