By designing the beam-to-column connection based on beam reaction, I only have to accommodate 5-kips.
Otherwise, I'm to ignore the beam completely and design the connection for the full 34-kip uplift. Is that the consensus?
I have a situation where I'm placing a 24" strongwall at the end of a wood beam. Overstrength forces bring the uplift/compression to 34-kips, requiring a Wide Flange beam. The strongwall is secured to the top flange of the beam with web stiffeners provided.
Given the proximity of the...
