Roof joist to frame connection.

These connections are grouped into the following three categories. Instead of an irc connection with just nails or with the rafters bearing against each other along a ridge board with a ceiling joist used as a tension tie a rafter in a cathedral ceiling needs to have vertical support at both ends. A house attached patio roof takes advantage of the house s structure by supporting one end of the roof on a ledger mounted horizontally to the house. Cross bridging between joists.

Rafter to top plate. Ceiling joist to top plate of wall. With premanufactured trusses or with rafters and ceiling joists commonly called stick framing.

In addition there may be more than one way to connect the roof system to a wall. 3 8d into top plate. The ledger typically a 2 by 6 is usually designed to hold one end of the patio roof rafters. With wood i joists there is no practical way to make a strong shear connection between the floor joists and the rafter ends.

There are two common ways of framing the roof of a house. Instead a wood i joist roof system is framed with either a central bearing wall or a structural ridge a beam that carries the roof load to posts. A literature review was conducted and supplemented with new research on the performance of conventional roof systems and components including ceiling joist to rafter connections and roof framing to wall connections. How to make stick frame roof connections stronger.

The focus of this project was on connections used with conventional light frame wood roof construction. Where ceiling joists are installed if the ceiling framing is not in parallel with the rafters then equivalent rafter ties are required to be added or a knee wall dwarf wall can be used when placed on a supporting beam that sits on the building the tops of the wall plates of the exterior walls. Number of nails required. 2 8d into joists at each end of the block or bridging.

Attaching 2x6 ceiling joists to steel beam blocking floor framing attaching a new deck to house the correct method how to build a deck the supporting floor joists. Cold formed steel framing steel bar joists concrete block joists and precast concrete roof systems. Blocking or bridging between joists rafters.
