Reconsidering Composite Action on Strength of Wood Roof Systems
… of photovoltaic (PV) modules on existing wood roof framing systems are considered. Often, existing roofs are inadequate to resist even current minimum design loads, much less the extra weight of PV modules. Rather than requiring expensive retrofits, it is desired to bring these …

Permanent Bracing Design for MPC Wood Roof Truss Webs and Chords
… assuming le/d of 16 were studied. All wood-to-wood brace connections were assumed to be made with 2-16d Common nails. A nonlinear load-displacement function was used to model the behavior of the nail connections. Single member analogs were analyzed that represented web members varying …

SEARCHING FOR THE FACTOR OF SAFETY: A STUDY OF WOOD ROOF SYSTEM CAPACITY AS IT APPLIES TO SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATION
… install residential installation of photovoltaic roof systems has generated the need to re-examine the structural capacity of residential structures. Currently, a perspective exists that residential wood roofs may not be able to carry the additional load of a photovoltaic (PV) array. This research …

Experimental Determination of the Stiffness and Strength of Continuity Tie Connections in Large Wood Roof Dipahragms, and Impact on the Collective Chord Model
… is to determine whether continuity ties in large wood diaphragms are stiff enough to engage and provide diaphragm flexural stiffness in a collective chord model. Four series of continuity tie assemblies using Simpson Strong-Tie steel connectors were tested to determine the stiffness of each …
