Can someone please check my attached roof live load reduction and application calc?
I was not sure at first if when designing a single member in a truss, if the reduction should be based on the entire truss tributary or on the individual web or chord member I am designing. But if you design each individual truss member for its own smaller tributary you end up over-designing the entire truss. (2 pages attached)
