ONE STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN ST. HELENA CALIFORNIA

S3DA Design provided structural engineering services for one story residential building in St. Helena, California. The house is 2695 sq. ft. and has 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Dining room, Living room, and family room.

A client approached to us asking to replace the old roof and framing with a new truss roof system. Our Structural Engineering team proposed Scissors trusses to sit on the walls at different levels. In order to improve the stability of the existing CMU walls, our Engineering team designed a concrete tie beam on top of the wall (depth 6”) with No. 4 reinforcing bars under the trusses.
