Awesome! Thank you.

Thanks. The load will be bear on one wall (the inside wall) and I assume a 2x6 plate will be on top of the seacan wall to secure the trusses. The outside wall will see an uplift from the trusses. The loads on the inner wall are 463 plf DL and 814 plf SL. This is not high at all for a wood...

As I mentioned, the building design is not in my scope...just the trusses. I am just curious and trying to build some knowledge with the help form others.

I have designed several roof truss systems for garages/storage buildings constructed with seacans as the 'walls'. They are increasingly popular, especially with homesteaders. Most of the time the trusses bear on the walls with a sill plates running up the 40' (or 20') sides. We have a...

It helps if you read the fine print. Found a note that explains it all. 2S2C means two studs and 2 cripples...that's a lot more detail than we normally get for window headers.

I'm working on a floor and roof design for a 6-plex. The structural drawings are well laid out and there are good schedules for all the wooden beams,columns,joists,etc. However, there are a bunch of columns that are identified as either SC, S2C, S3C, 2S2C, or 2S3C. I am presuming these are...

Good to note about the uplift. That’s exactly what I’m dealing with. Architect has designed 5’ overhangs with Canadian snow loads.

Wow. I didn’t know Simpson had software for this. Will be sure to check this out in the morning. My colleagues will love this.

I guess I should clarify. In the Simpson catalogue a certain hanger has a factored resistance rating for D.Fir of 1500 lbs. The same hanger is rated for 1200 lbs. for SPF. My SPF truss load on the hanger attached to a D.Fir girder is 1300 lbs. Is this hanger suitable? Thanks

Hi, When selecting hangers does the wood species for factored resistance apply to just what the hanger is attached to or does it include what is hung? For example, if I have a D.Fir girder and I want to hang an SPF truss on it, do I used the factored resistance for D.Fir or SPF? Thanks in...

Thank you!! I haven't been on here in years. Still the same great help.

Trying to determine the point load at the end of a cantilevered joist. I'm a chemical engineer so please forgive me. The wall above has a dead load of 80 plf and a snow load of 110 plf. If my joists are at 16" o/c is my point load 1.333 ft*190/2=127 lbs? If not please help. I know its a...
