I am somewhat concerned about the connection loosing over time as well as the actual moment capacity that can be achieved with the connection. I was told that is not really good practice to use wood in a moment connection, do you think differently?
Can a moment connection be made between a steel post and an LVL, flitch beam or any other wood member to be used as the main lateral resisting system of a one story residential building? There is no room for shear walls and steel frame is not an option. Anyone able to give me some direction on...
