Roof Framing Connections in Conventional Residential Construction
The NAHB Research Center has been engaged in a multifaceted research program for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to quantify the structural performance of homes and to develop or refine engineering methods that accurately model conventional wood construction. The focus of this project was on connections used with conventional light-frame wood roof construction. A literature review was conducted and supplemented with new research on the performance of conventional roof systems and components including ceiling joist-to-rafter connections and roof framing-to-wall connections. Individual connections and connections within full-scale roof systems were tested to quantify potential system effects. Hand-driven and pneumatic fasteners were included in the test program.
