Gable End Framing

Earn 1 PDH

Gable end framing at the ends of buildings is an area that requires special attention. There are unique aspects of this section of the building that need to be carefully designed and detailed. The loads that need to be resisted at this location come from many directions and proper detailing is vital to transfer these loads to the building foundation. This presentation will review the diverse ways to achieve gable end framing as well as identifying the gravity and environmental loads that the system needs to resist. Proper detailing and specifications are an important part of the project documents so that the gable end framing can be designed properly and that the load path is adequate.

Learning Objectives

• Understanding the different ways to frame gable ends.
• Identifying the gravity and environmental loads that need to be resisted by the gable end framing.
• Introduce various detailing techniques to preserve the load path.
• How to properly specify these systems so that they can be designed appropriately.
