Hip roof structural engineering.

In structural design a cantilever is a whole different animal and should not be confused with overhanging structural members. A hip roof may have the appearance of a pyramid. Loads can be accurately placed on the structural member. The greater the slope of the roof diaphragm the greater the contribution tro supporting the hip some.

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 roofs are structurally efficient because the hip rafters tend to act in compression rather than in bending. In a classic four square hip roof four hip beams convey loads from the roof peak to the corners of the exterior walls. Overhangs are often referred to as cantilevers by the building trade.

The shorter common rafters which may be subject to significant bending stress act to transmit load to the hip rafters. But look to the obvious for the solution here. These calculations shall govern the structural portion of the working drawings. The structural calculations included here are for the analysis and design of primary structural system.

10 ft 90 r1. I want to remove a section of this wall 25 long and put a beam in the attic. I have a hip roof rancher with basically one long load bearing wall down the middle.
