Drift Loading on Lower Roof
Drift Loading on Lower Roof
(OP)
Hey all,
I have a situation where a lower roof is bounded on two sides by a building that is about 6-10' taller. When considering drift load on the trusses below, is there any literature regarding the application of the drift loads from the two directions simultaneously. I feel as though they should be applied together, but wanted to make sure before having the truss designers re-submit. Thanks in advance!

All drifts should be analyzed to act simultaneously.
