Hi,
Does anyone out there have a link or reference to a well established residential shed dormer design for high seismic regions? The shed dormer is ~90% of the roof surface that it sits on and thus significantly reduces the roof diaphram. I'd like to find a good, practical, well established technique for reinforcing the roof diaphram below. Any help would be nice, but a reference would be great.
Thanks,
Phil
