However, on this app with Simpson. Shear load...
Hi, everyone, thanks for your great responses.
if one of bolt has tension around 1876 lb, with 1/2" bolt and washer.
Assumed I use DFL no1. f'c perpendicular to grain is about 419 psi after factor adjustment. my logic tell me I need to pick up washer bigger enough to pass the pressure to wood...
Thanks for everyone help.
@Eng16080, you are right, I need to limit to 5" bolt spacing even 5.25 is very closed.

@Jayrod12, thanks, I will adjust level of arm to 6". However, my...
