Plywood Diaphragm Connection at Roof Ridge
Plywood Diaphragm Connection at Roof Ridge
(OP)
With a lateral load acting perpendicular to the roof ridge your horizontal diaphragm shear is maximum. Conveniently at the same time the diaphragm is discontinuous. What are people normally specifying to get the load trough this joint?

If there is no ridge vent, just provide blocking at the ridge between the trusses and nail the sheathing to it. No worries.
