ABSTRACT:
A hip corner plate connection in which a single element sheet metal hip corner plate connector is used to connect a hip rafter most commonly occurring in wood frame buildings having a stick-framed roof of either dimensional lumber or plywood I-rafters to the top plates of the supporting walls. The sheet metal hip corner plate connector includes base members which attach to the single or double top plates of the framed wall, and flanges which attach to the hip rafter. The base members provide a gusset-like connection to tie the corner walls together and flanges provide lateral as well as uplift resistance to wind and seismic forces acting on the hip rafter,
