Has anyone ever seen or designed a steel monoslope roof structure with wide flange rafters below wide flange purlins and braced using a plywood deck? I am working on a custom home and this is how the owner has detailed it out and I am not sure exactly where to go for the capacity (in lbs/ft) for the diaphragm.. Can anyone help?

Check out the ICC report for hilti x-u low velocity fasteners.
"2.2 Horizontal Diaphragms: The Hilti X-U fasteners may be used as an alternate to 10d common nails for fastening wood structural panel horizontal diaphragms to structural steel members."
