Re: Can you use I-Joists in an Attic as Rafters?
Yes you can use them for rafters, they have to be installed per the manufacturers guidelines. The diagram provided by Bruce is an example of special requirements.

The one that is cut might be a problem. The manufacturer would need to design the repair. It is possible that is the repair that was designed but you would need to see the documentation to say that.
