4x framing required for plywood roof panels spanning 48"?

[Subject Prev][Subject Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] 
We have been reviewing the UBC and APA report 138. We cannot seem to find any literature on this subject, so I thought I would ask:

Roof Diaphragm Framing: 2x top and bottom chord on truss member.
Truss spacing: 48" o.c.
Plywood: 48/24 span rating, structural 1, 7/8"

Are 2x framing members permitted for framing spaced at 48" o.c.?
