Hip Roof Structural Engineering

However where any discrepancies occur between these calculations and the working drawings the engineer shall be notified immediately so proper action may be taken.

Hip roof structural engineering.

The hips are more likely than not supported by a structural member truss collar tie beam whatever at the intersection of the two hips or very close to it. The structural calculations included here are for the analysis and design of primary structural system. The greater the slope of the roof diaphragm the greater the contribution tro supporting the hip some. These calculations shall govern the structural portion of the working drawings.

I have a hip roof rancher with basically one long load bearing wall down the middle. Loads can be accurately placed on the structural member. I want to remove a section of this wall 25 long and put a beam in the attic. But look to the obvious for the solution here.

A hip roof may have the appearance of a pyramid. Overhangs are often referred to as cantilevers by the building trade. In a classic four square hip roof four hip beams convey loads from the roof peak to the corners of the exterior walls. We will need to build the beam in the attic in order to fit it into the opening.
