Add load barring wall in garage3/8/2024 ![]() I prefer to add post to break the span of this area to a more manageable span.įor the layman like me, your load bearing layout makes it easy to understand.ġ) The roof load should be tranfered naturally to the shear wall due to trussing rafter design. On this hurricane thing, Simpson bracket shall be installed for each roof truss rafter to anchor it to the top plate. There is some other requirement on the high wind ( 120 mile zone) code that must be met. I just have to design for the regular load ( Static and live load). There is no snow load in the area ( Central FL) that I build. Sometimes decks get upsized, need connection details for them and I noticed you do not have any post for that, try at least 6 x 6 post with simpson cc series brackets Go to the engineer with pretty much what you want all done and let him tell you where the defecieny is instead of going in with just the plans and having him invent the whole thing ![]() Your floor systems could be all 11 7/8" 16" o.c., you'll just need that garage beam in there to get rid of the 16" deep stuff, have a lumber yard do a tji layout for you and maybe think about upping the series to a 210, they can also "rate" the floor for you there.Īs far as window/door headers, I ususally try and keep them all the same except where there is a heavy load on a big span, then size accordingly Unless you have a tall garage you are likely to have head height problems with that one, you may want to think about breakingthe span up with a column between your 8' and your 16' door Last edited by George Godwin 04-07-2006 at 08:10 AM.Ĭool plans, you need to get your truss submittal done prior to going to the engineer, there are some roof loads transfering onto you long garage beam that will impact that beam. Structural issues need to be handled by properly-qualified professionals. The Tarion New Home Warranty covers a far greater array of construction warranty issues and liability issues than is covered by the scope of a house designer liability insurance policy. In Ontario, a designer needs to carry liability insurance to Ministry standards unless you are a Ministry-qualified, in-house designer (meaning you have passed the Ministry Building Code exams) with a company that itself is qualified and registered to offer a new home warranty (the Tarion New Home Warranty) which is a mandatory requirement for new home construction in Ontario. As Steve said above, there are liability issues in dealing with house designs. Where a design falls outside the Part 9 coverage, then an Engineer or Architect approval is required. For residential homes, the Building Code deals with the loads and beams issues in Part 9 of the Ontario Building Code. In Ontario, you cannot submit Construction Drawings to a Building Department unless you have passed Ministry exams on the Building Code and are registered with the Ministry. If you do not know your local Building Code, then you need to turn your plan over to someone who is qualified to deal with Building Code requirements.
