Can you use I-Joists in an Attic as Rafters?
Hi Everyone,

Ran across I-Joists today used as attic trusses / rafters (I'm not sure what to call them frankly since they don't look like a pre-manufactured / engineered system to me). Has anyone ever run across these and more importantly can you safely use these as roof framing members?

A couple of pictures are attached, one with a member sawed right in half and re-supported...

Thanks in advance,
Chris
