Hello fellow eng-tippers,
I am working on the design of a 75’x75’ single-storey wood building with a gabled roof. 4 walls will be constructed to eave height followed by the 2 gable end walls (triangular walls).
I have a few questions about the gable end detail. I have attached a detail to this post for your comments.
-How can I maintain continuity of the 2 top plates (my diaphragm chord) at the ridge where the top plates will simply butt each other?
-Architectural requires a 2’ overhang – would I need to detail this or is that typically just stick built by the contractor? If so, any ideas as to how the overhang can be framed?
Thanks for your help.
