Pole Barn Design

Pole Barn Design

Pole Barn Design

(OP)
I am designing a 24' X 30' pole style garage. I am thinking of using built-up 2x's mechanically fastened for my columns. Does anyone know how long should the splices be. And can someone tell me or point me in the right direction for for designing for diaphram action in pole barns.  I have been searching for ever for an example of structural calculations for pole barns.  I have found a couple of examples, but I see these pole barns being built and referncing the calculations I have found it seems the way people build them seems like they should fall right down, now granted the cals that I have are not the cals fors the pole barns I see going up.  There seems to be some factors that make my cals unrealistic.  If anyone could advise that would be great.
