Large wood truss spans
(OP)
Have a 70' wood roof truss span, on 2x6 walls. Anyone got any details of the bearing/diaphram details? 2x10 bottom chords/2x8 top chords. my first thought is to have blocking in between each truss. The architect I am working with wants minimal detail/involvement from me. Im worried he wont get it right.
let me know what you think

As usual this started out with him wanting a couple of headers designed, and has snowballed into this.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

PS: I've dealt with this type, they don't always pay their bills so keep that in mind as you're weighing just how far out to extend your neck. Good luck.
