Hello,
On a flat roof, with slope 1/4" per foot or less, if the roof deck flutes are parallel to the span, and the supporting beams are perpendicular to this, is it customary to install the beams plumb, or slightly out of plumb so that the slope of the beam top flange matches the roof deck slope? What is the slope limit when supporting beams must be installed out of plumb to match the slope and the slope can no longer be neglected?
