F7 Roof Rafter or Truss to Wall Connection<br />

Calculate the number of screws required for the uplift strap connection between a roof<br />

rafter and a wall for a 24-foot roof span, with roof and wall framing at 24” on center and twostory<br />

building subjected to 120 mph wind speed, Exposure Category C. The roof pitch is 9:12.<br />

From Table C2.1 of Section 1, 9:12 roof pitch and roof corner pressures, wind load = 12.4<br />

psf.<br />

⎛ cos 36.86 ⎞<br />

Wind Load = 12.4 psf ⎜ ⎟ = 16.54 psf at 110 mph<br />

⎝ sin 36.86 ⎠<br />

Wind Load = 16.54 ⎜ ⎟ = 19.68 psf at 120 mph<br />

-276 -315 -354 -394 -433<br />

Uplift Load = 0.9(158) – 1.6(276) = 142.2 – 441.6 = -299 lb/ft (uplift)<br />

At 24” framing spacing: Uplift Load, P = 299(2) = 598 lb<br />

V all per No. 8 screw = 165 lb<br />

No. of screws required = 598/165 = 3.62 screws, Use 4-No. 8 screws.
