Per your request, we have reviewed the information you provided us regarding the roof system at
the ~bove project and are prepared to provide an opinioh regarding the suitability of the trusses
and framin~ system at the two particular locations discussed below:
that both plies c
at a 2-ply 2x12 header which is supported at each end
and the R4 trusses pick up interme~liate bearing at
the load at the end of the R4 truss which, in
supported by the R3A truss. We
beam design and found it to be
are required. This observ~ition
are appropriately sized and made and
together to act as a single structural unit.
Issue 2:R9/R10 Hip Girders ,,
Per your description both trusses were manufactured 3 too short. The existing !~,s,s designs
were then analyzed with the top chord bearing locations (joint "J on R9, joint 'E on R10)
shil :d 3" to the right to reflect the as-installed conditions. In both cases the truss analysis
rev, ~ed no overstressed or inadequate plates or members. Truss loading was checked and found
to ~ appropriate for the condition. No corrections or modifications are required. This
obs vatlon assumes that appropriate blocking is installed from the underside of the top chord to
the p of the R7 girder truss to provide adequate bearing for the R9 and R l0 and that connections
bev :eh the R9 and RI0 girder trusses and the trusses being supported are properly sized and
made.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. Should you have any
questions concerning this report, please feel free to contact us.
