SperlinPE,
Thanks for the reply about the sheathing. My real concern is with the trusses.
For the nails in my analysis, I assumed a 6d common nail (.113 dia, 2" long with a bending stress of 100,000 psi) with the appropriate truss side member and main member thicknesses and their respective...
SperlingPE,
Disregarding the previous questions, what I am really looking for: are the 6d cooler ring nails equivalent in bending strength as the 6d common smooth shank? Is there any info that you may have that deals with nail types and strengths?
I am building a 14' x 12' shed in the Detroit area of Michigan and have recently purchased the nails to fasten the 5/8" thick t-111 sheathing to the stud walls. The nails I purchased are zinc coated 6d cooler nails with a ring diameter of .113" which are set up for a pneumatic nailer. There...
Thanks SlideRuleEra.
I was looking through "Designing Barns To Withstand Wind Loads" and noticed the complexity of the joints. It appears that when designing the joints, pre FEA, each triangle is analyzed separately and then assembled as a whole with many assumptions.
In my design, using...
I am in the process of designing a shed with a Gambrel roof with little to no webbing utilizing wood plates to attach the joints to maximize my storage space. I have learned that when the joints are not coincident the soulution is not unique. My question is how are these types of trusses...
