Timber Pile Uplift Anchor
Timber Pile Uplift Anchor
(OP)
Does anyone have a timber pile uplift anchor they are comfortable with?
I have a project in Mobile, AL, that is in bad upper soils. The geotech recommended timber driven piles and gave me pile lengths/sizes with allowable compression and tension capacities. Because of the high wind zone and the 1 story wood construction, I am getting uplift in the ends of my shear walls.
Thanks.

Vertically lag screws into the endgrain of the piling are a no-no. Nix, Nyette... You must bolt through the side.

SlideRule, I used the cleveland product as a starting point. I didn't particularly like the bent plate connection for the same reason as J and L bolts are being phased out. I decided to go with my own connection and bend a gage strap into an inverted "U" shape and connect it to the top of the pile with through bolts.
Thanks again.
