I have a proposed design for a full hip roof system on a 30'-0" square residential structure above the third floor level. The proposal employs Glue-Lam Beams as the hip rafters from each corner that meet at the peek and then 2x12 jack rafters to infill the roof. The design does not include any ceiling joists or rafter ties and is fully vaulted with the single joist rafter construction. There is not a column beneath the peek and no interior load bearing walls.
My questions are regarding the outward force resisting capabilities of this methodology. Does it work?
