I have a 15kip point load supported by an 8 3/4" wide glulam. The center line of the point load is off set from the center line of the glulam beam by 1 5/8" creating an approx 2000 ft-lb twisting moment. The glb has joists framed into it on the same side as the offset wich effectively braces...
It is cut and rewelded at the ridge. It is not out of plane. It will support a ridge beam for a roof at a 10/12 roof pitch. It will need to bear on wood posts, so probably some type of pinned connection. Thanks.
Can anyone assist in designing a steel bent beam along with the theory behind it? We are designing a steel bent beam with a span of 17', a load of 15Kips at the midpoint and a roof pitch of 10/12. The bent will be supported by wood posts. Thank you.
Thanks for the great link. Our local building official instructs out to call out the exact diameter and length of the shear nail, not just the typical name (10d, etc). Are the loads listed in the linked table for traditional common nail sizes?
8d=0.131" dia.
10d=0.148" dia.
Thanks.
What are the allowable shear values for wind or seismic loading for wood structural panel shear walls?
The project is under the jurisdiction of the 2001 CBC. Should I be referencing NER-272 for the correct loads?
Thanks.
