We have had to install blocking between TJI beams and anchor to them.Piercing the top member was a no-no.

        Dear Wrenches,
        

        
        I have a customer with a low slope roof supported by TJI
          beams. Does anyone have experience permitting and installing
          on TJIs? I'm curious if jurisdictions are requiring Structural
          Engineer stamps. 
        

        
        Since the top chord of the beams is only 1 3/8" thick
          should we be using shorter lag bolts for these installations?
          It also seems that it would be undesirable to penetrate into
          the web of the beam.
        

        
        Any advice would be appreciated here.
        

        
        Thank you,
