How would you design a splice for a cold formed/light guage steel c-stud? This is for a rafter, but this would apply to any beam splice. I have some reservations about it and I wanted to get some other opinions. (Flanges will not be connected.)
Approx. loads: Mmax=18k-in, Vmax=500 lbs
Rafter is 8" CSJ.
How many screws? Screw pattern?
