hello,
I am reviewing and stamping a set of plans for 44x28' A frame house with 12/12 pitch roof. the owner wants me to add a dormer for the upstairs bathroom. on the building section I noticed a skylight detail with a header above the skylight. the header is shown square to the rafters (rafters are 2x12 @ 16" SPF #2).
question: would this header be designed to act as a normal beam with strong axis and applied loads vertical, or is it the more complicated out of plane bending.
the dormer will be 8' wide so the header will have significant load on it. the header will be framed into tripled rafters on either side of the dormer. thanks in advance for any advice.
