As usual, our friend mocks, you can clarify the concepts for all the uninformed.J Jocke Best said:
So you have no clue. Let me inform you that a stud is stiffer in one direction, and the wall plate is stiffest laterally because it is lying down. The rafters usually have 1200mm centers and the wall plates stiffen the walls laterally in between.A AG A said:I refer to Wikipedia.
It's just that you are wrong. A beam is a much broader concept. A wall plate is the horizontal beam(s) on the long sides of the building. The purpose of the wall plate is to absorb the forces of the rafters and distribute them to the wall studs. If a lying 45×145 is not considered strong enough, the wall plate is made stronger. For example, by complementing with a "beam" on edge. The lying rule and the "beam" now together constitute the building's wall plate.
Wall plates are generally NOT constructed for lateral forces. The roof joists/rafters take those forces.
You keep showing that you have no clue. You absolutely cannot be a structural engineer. Every amateur who has ever erected a building knows more than you do about this.
No, kP is not kilopascal. Kilopascal is denoted as kPa. I'm not aware of any SI unit denoted with a capital P, and since a capital P is a prefix (meaning 10^15), it would be unlikely for a unit to also be denoted with a capital P.J Jocke Best said:
Yes, exactly right, I was just trying to guess why Daniel109 responded the way he did. Boyle's law will still be difficult to apply here in the sparse garage if I remember my Ekbom correctly.H hhallen said:

Oops, I missed that error. 😳
Yes, I've made that journey too. My experience is that it took just as long to figure out how everything should be done best as it did to actually carry it out. The biggest challenge was the interior work with winter insulation.Fario said:
But it's a good school. 😊
What cc is typically used between the wall studs? The ridge beam, as is well-known, is supported by the wall studs. When designing, you need to know the load and its distribution. Is it an evenly distributed load or a point load?Nissens said:
You clearly have no clue. I can inform you that a beam is stiffer in one direction, and the ridge beam is stiffest sideways because it is laid flat. The trusses usually have 1200mm cc, and the ridge beams brace the walls sideways between them.
You repeatedly show that you have no clue. You simply cannot be a building engineer. Every amateur who has ever built a structure knows more than you about this.
Then you need to know the span, meaning the distance between the supporting points under the ridge beam.
No matter how dumb you may be, I thought you knew where the ridge beam is located. But since you apparently think the ridge beam is above the trusses, it's not surprising that you don't believe the ridge beam supports the trusses.
What nonsense. No one actually thinks that the wall plate is on top of the roof trusses. It's incomprehensible how you came to that conclusion.A AG A said:What cc is normally used between the wall studs? The wall plate is known to be supported by the wall studs. When you calculate dimensions, you need to know the load and its distribution. Is it a uniformly distributed load or a point load?
Then you need to know the span, that is, how far it is between the supporting points under the wall plate.
No matter how dumb you may be, I thought you knew where the wall plate is located. But since you apparently think that the wall plate is above the roof trusses, it's not surprising that you don't think the wall plate supports the roof trusses.
But even all amateurs know that a stud is stiffer in the direction it is the widest. The wall plates are stiffest horizontally because they are laid flat. That's why TS has an embedded beam in their construction. Without it, the flat wall plates would bow significantly. When I build a frame, I prefer to place the standing wall studs under the roof trusses, then I don't need to embed a beam except to span above doors and windows.
The wall plates help stiffen the outer wall so it doesn't bow between the roof trusses and, of course, they keep the wall studs in place.
I don't think we'll get any further with this discussion, I have a grasp on this construction, but you seem to have your own version.
Have a nice weekend! 😊
