Wood "Moment Connection"
Wood "Moment Connection"
(OP)
Im not sure if this is possible or not. My gut reaction was that it wasnt but after thinking about it, maybe it is, but I need to find a good reference. I have a existing paralam structural ridge that is going to be extended approx. 10'. The client wants no posts, support, etc. under the splice so essentially if this is going to work it needs to be a wood version of a full penetration welded splice. Any guidelines/references for using steel plates and bolts to splice wood/engineered lumber in this manner?

My point is that a moment splice in wood is possible, as long as you design the steel plates and the bolts for the moment each side of the splice. I would be a little nervous about bolt slippage allowing the splice to "hinge" a bit, but I don't think the splice would fail.

Either way lack of column will make extension tricky.
