Anyone have any experience using precast prestressed double tees for a sloped roof (say 3:12 slope)? If the DT span is parallel to the ridge, then there will be a weak-axis load component (may need to be resisted by the diaphragm). If the DT span is perpendicular to the ridge, then the connection detail at the bearing ends is funky. Any advice or other issues to be aware of?
