The upward movement of the wind exerts an uplift load on the roof and.
Exterior wall roof load.
In this roof design the exterior walls on which the roof s sloping rafters rest are load bearing walls.
Although they don t bear the full weight load of the roof the gable end walls are also typically load bearing and an interior wall running parallel to the roof ridge in the center of the building often bears a load from the ridge.
Roof and wall sheathing gravity and wind loads floor diaphragms and shear walls.
The distance in this case is 12 ft 2 ft 14 ft.
Is an exterior wall load bearing.
Remember these loads are distributed uniformly over the entire surface of the roof.
The exterior wall and the headers within will carry all loads from the mid point of the house between the supporting walls to the outside of the house including the roof overhang.
Where there are windows and doors the walls include beams or headers spanning across the tops of the openings.
Loads are transferred downward and outward through sloping rafters the lower ends of which rest on the top plates of the exterior walls.
Posts on either side of the openings support the beams.
When wind hits the exterior wall of a building the wind s energy disperses upward and downward along the wall.
