R801.2 Requirements. Roof and ceiling construction shall be capable of accommodating all loads imposed according to Section R01 and of transmitting the resulting loads to the supporting structural elements. R801. Roof drainage. In areas where expansive or collapsible soils are known to exist, all dwellings shall have a controlled method of water disposal from roofs that will collect and discharge all roof drainage to the ground surface at least feet ( mm) from foundation walls or to an approved drainage system. SECTION R802 WOOD ROOF FRAMING R802.1 Identification. Load-bearing dimension lumber for rafters, trusses and ceiling joists shall be identified by a grade mark of a lumber grading or inspection agency thathas beenapproved by an accreditation body that complies with DOC PS 20. In lieu of a grade mark, a certificate of inspection issued by a lumber grading or inspection agency meeting the requirements of this section shall be accepted. R Blocking. Blocking shall be a minimum of utility grade lumber. R End-jointed lumber. Approved end-jointed lumber identified by a grade mark conforming to Section R802.1 may be used interchangeably with solid-sawn members of the same species and grade. R Fire-retardant-treated wood. Fire-retardanttreated wood is any wood product which, when impregnated with chemicals by a pressure process or other means during manufacture, shall have, when tested in accordance with ASTM E8, a listed flame spread index of 2 or less and show no evidence of significant progressive combustion when the test is continued for an additional 20-minute period. In addition, the flame front shall not progress more than 10. feet (200 mm) beyond the center line of the burners at any time during the test. R Labeling.

The uplift connection requirements are based on a 0 foot mean roof height located in Exposure B. For Exposures C and D and for other mean roof heights, multiply the above loads by the Adjustment Coefficients in Table R-01.2(). b. The uplift connection requirements are based on the framing being spaced 2 inches on center. Multiply by 0.6 for framing spaced inches on center and multiply by 0. for framing spaced inches on center. c. The uplift connection requirements include an allowance for 10 pounds of dead load. d. The uplift connection requirements do not account forthe effects ofoverhangs. The magnitude ofthe above loads shall be increased by adding the overhang loads found in the table. The overhang loads are also based on framing spaced 2 inches on center. The overhang loads given shall be multiplied bythe overhangprojection and added to the roof uplift value in the table. e. The uplift connection requirements are based upon wind loading on end zones as defined in Section M09.6 of the International Building Code. Connection loads for connections located a distance of 20% of the least horizontal dimension of the building from the corner of the building are permitted to be reduced by multiplying the table connection value by 0. and multiplying the overhang load by 0.8. f. For wall-to-wall and wall-to-foundation connections, the capacity of the uplift connector is permitted to be reduced by 100 pounds for each full wall above.
