Is it acceptable to apply ice loads to the projected surface of a solar panel array. If so how would I do this so as not to be unconservative? The panels are placed at 31 from the horizontal during the summer months and 61 degrees from the horizontal in the winter months when ice is a...
No splices. The intent of nail laminating them is for load sharing as well as beefing up the section modulus. As such, so it is critical they act as a composite structure under loading. I wasn't sure if there was a prescribed method as noted in NDS regarding built-up columns. Thanks for the...
I am designing a monoslope roof for an ag facility. Due to the large span, I am going to have to nail laminate two 2x10 beams together to beef up the section modulus of the rafters. What is the technique/design procedure for nail laminating two wood beams together?
