How would you design a splice for cold formed/light guage steel c-studs? The studs do not overlap. They want to use stud material on the backside for the splice plate.

How many screws? Screw pattern?
How would you design a splice for a cold formed/light guage steel c-stud? This is for a rafter, but this would apply to any beam splice. I have some reservations about it and I wanted to get some other opinions. (Flanges will not be connected.)

Given:
2-story building.
Wind controlled design.
Shearwall located under drag truss.
Is it necessary to design the drag truss to transfer the roof wind loads (wind loading on roof only) OR does it need to transfer the diaphragm loads (wind loading on roof + half of 2nd floor wall height)?

I am trying to calculate the seismic forces that need to be resisted by a roof system. By roof system, I mean the trusses, bearing connections, blocking and decking. Can I consider this system to be a diaphragm? (Covered in section 12.10.1 of ASCE 7-05) The roof system is not part of the main...
