So pretty much I have this house that has sloped flat roof that is supported by dropped beams every 5 ft or so. These beams will support SIP going other direction. These dropped beams will cantilever about 5ft for look out.
Here is what I'm worried about. I did specified hurricane ties at the look out for each dropped beams but how about the SIP onto the dropped beam? Is it easy to connect the splines to the dropped beams with simpson hurricane ties? I'm designing it for 90mph category B. I just never specified SIP on my drawings before. I'm not sure how it connects together. If you guys have a good link about SIP roof I will appreciate it.
