Just the fastener @structsu10 I guess my question is what exactly would you include with this. Just withdrawal calculations and state spacing of nails? Not really sure how these things usually work
Hey Guys,
If someone was asking you to check the fasteners for wood furring strips/cement panel siding what would you be checking exactly? Just the withdrawal from wind and the weight of the material? In this case, it's nails.
Hey Guys,
Attached is a detail I'm trying to put into Risa along with the model I've drawn for it. I would like to get some input on how it looks as I'm not super familiar with RISA as a whole. Am I right to have a rotational boundary condition at N1? It seems to be the only way to get...
Hey guys,
So I have a situation where I have a wood stair stringer connecting into a CFS Studd wall. I'm thinking of using a track spanned between 2 studs and bent diagonally to match the slope of the stringer with screws from underneath into the stringer to support. What do you guys think...
HeY Guys,
I'm spanning an opening 3' wide that only has 1.5" depth allowed for members. Using CFS, how would you guys go about this? They don't make 1.5" studs to my knowledge, so wanted to get some ideas what would you guys use in this situation? I need to be able to fasten sheathing from...
Hey Guys,
I'm doing an anchorage design for a nonstructural ponywall condition. I am trying to understand section 17.2.3.4.3 but am really struggling. I'm seeing that for section a my anchor strength has to control, but how do I make that so? Even when my concrete strength is 8000 psiit doesn't...
@jayrod12 thank you for the suggestion, apparently that's not an option here due to some of our conditions bolting to steel. @phameng please do that would be helpful.
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge on safety factors/other design considerations on lifting connections by crane. It seems like it would be more than the vertical load. In this case it's a lag screw connection into CLT.
Thanks,
Hey Guys,
So I have a wood stair landing only a couple of feet off of the ground., I am wanting to just build it up with studs, but if I do this, how would you go about attaching the studs to the concrete slab? Would you install a bottom plate and anchor it down? That seems like overkill to me...
Hey guys,
Where can I find the load tables required to design floor sheathing? I don't usually work with wood and haven't had much luck googling it.
Thanks,
Hey guys,
Does anyone know how to check a composite studwall in Simpson CFS Designer(counting the full height sheathing with the wall)? If not, how do you check your composite studs?
Thanks,
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know of a section of the NDS that provides edge distance and other values for fastening into the side grain of wood? I haven't had much luck finding it if it's there.
Thanks,
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know if you're allowed to take the 0.7 deflection modifier when designing interior walls? I can't seem to find a clear answer, the 5 psf is often treated as a "wind" load but not sure it actually qualifies for this factor.
Thank you!
