Rafters

Chapter 6

71

The final structural elements to be analyzed are 

rake-wall

studs as

shown in 

Figure 6-9.

These may be used to support the end walls of a gable

roof, or the side walls of a shed roof. These members are essentially just
vertical jacks, and may be installed with no base, or atop a stud wall as
shown in the figure. Pitch of the roof rafters may be specified in the usual
number of ways: rise and run; rise and pitch; run and pitch; or diagonal and
pitch.
