Hey guys,
I know I have read somewhere something that describes what to do if the roof pitch is greater than 12:12. I recall something about considering it to be a full story rather than a roof. Can someone point me to where this information is, please?! Thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me if the 490plf maximum allowable shear load is the absolute maximum allowed? In other words, is the 490plf limit applied to even a double sheathed shear wall segment?
Can anyone tell me what the going rate is in TX for the design of a commercial wood structure with approx. 13000 S.F.? Will be using prefab roof truss system.
Hey guys, are there any good metal building design handbooks that you could recommend. Our company might get a metal building design, like a shopping center strip, and I want to get a jump on things. Any info is greatly appreciated. If I could get my hands on a go by, that would be great too...
