I have a question about designing the connection to Rafter - Wall.
We need to design the connections to resist lateral, shear and uplift, and if we are using a ridge board then we need to install nails for the rafter ceiling connection also to resist the thrust.
To resist lateral loads(perpendicular to wall) on the roof lets say I'm install a Simpson A35 Connector. And for the lateral loads parallel to wall, i need to install another tie. Lets say I'm installing a Simpson hurricane tie.
Is it ok to install two or more connections for a single place?
Can we install it practically and is there sufficient space for several connections?
or is there is another way to design it with a single connector?
