1 (0,0) 1 j1-j3
2 (8,8) 2 j3-j4
3 (13,13) 3 j4-j2
4 (26,8) 4 j5-j3
5 (13,8)
Joints 1 and 4 sit on wall plate.
Since it is timber constrution all members are pinned to each other.
Here is the problem, the house is already constructedand the building inspector wants calcs or a stamp and i've thought of several different solutions but none yeild the numbers that make sense. The only solution is to make a plywood gusset from joint 2-3-5. However, it just doesn't seem to work. I already know that a ridge beam would eliminate all of these problems but that is not an option. Please tell me what you think. Thanks
