a framing member (2x4 or similar), attached to a wall, upon which, sits the top (high end) of a "pitched" rafter.
Placement of the plate determines the pitch of the roof, hence the name.
---------------------------------------
It is more commonly called a ridge board, or if it is designed to transfer load, it is called a structural ridge.
Pitching plate iscolloquial, and not a common term in the US.
From AS 1684.4 Residential Timber Framing Code 2.6.4.1 Coupled roof Pitched roof construction with a roof slope not less than 10°, with ceiling joists and collar ties fixed to opposing common rafter pairs and a ridgeboard at the apex of the roof (see Figure 7.1). A coupled roof system may include some area where it is not possible to fix ceiling joists or collar ties to all rafters, e.g., hip ends or parts of T- or L-shaped house. 2.6.4.2 Non-coupled roof A pitched roof that is not a coupled roof and includes cathedral roofs and roofs constructed using ridge and intermediate beams.

Roofs may be functionally flat or "pitched". In building construction, roof pitch is a numerical measure of the steepness of a roof. A flat roof on the otherhand, is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. If you have a flat roof, there is probably a leak in it or there will be a need for a flat roof repairs in the future.
38 feet longIt is not possible to give a definite answer without more detail. The construction and type of roof will determine the load (weight) bearing on the beam, and factors such as wind load and earthquake load, and the way the roof bears on the beam (truss/point load/distributed load) will all affect the sizing.
ICI Construction stands for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Construction.

Flat roof construction has many disadvantages. However the main disadvantage is that there is nowhere for rainfall water to flow. It will settle on the roof causing dampness.
There is a 16 foot circle with the pitching plate as the center point.
A hipped end in roof construction is a roof end plane that is inclined, instead of having a gable end.Some roof designs can have a hip at one end, and a gable at the other end.

The price of roof construction blueprints is pretty reasonable, but it does vary where you buy it. The blueprint can be picked up for as low as $49.98.
Generally there is no need for a roof jack in a porch roof. If the porch ceiling will be covered you could run a vent through the roof.
Go right next to the construction site, there will be a house with a ton of boxes on the side, climb them. It will take you on top of the roof of that house and from there you jump from roof to roof or balance across the wires.

There is no "standard". It depends on the construction, dimensions, and the overall goal/intent of the roof overhang.

No. Never chance trapping moisture during construction.
