wind on roof
wind on roof
(OP)
I have seen another thread where someone mentioned this.
If we do sheating on timber rafters with wooden boards, does that achieve, that horizontal forces get transfered to bearing (shear) walls in a direction of a wind force, since wall perpendicular to its plane is not that stiff. Im asking this in a case that we have wooden pillars that support roof - pillars are not able to act as cantilever since wood cant be fixed at supports. Is it safe to assume that these pillars are loaded only verticaly? But if that was the case we wont use knee braces?
