Need explanation of nail and bolt connections from NDS
Need explanation of nail and bolt connections from NDS
(OP)
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good text book reference (or other reference material) to help explain the ins and outs of mechanical connections from NDS 2001?
I'm particularly interested in nailed and bolted connections but I guess screwed connections would be good too. I know it is all in the NDS but I have a hard time decifering which mode will apply and I hate to calculate each different equation to figure out which one is the controling one.
Any good references for this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry but we have not adopted 2005 NDS yet.

I think you can down load the 2005 Commentary from AFPA's web site.
