Steel Beam w/ Wood Nailer - Lateral Bracing
Steel Beam w/ Wood Nailer - Lateral Bracing
(OP)
I have a steel beam in a residential appliation that has a wood nailer place bolted to the top of it. I am wondering how one can achieve proper lateral bracing using wood screws attaching the wood top plate of the beam to the wood joists (which are @ 16" o.c.)
Most literature I read refers to brace points at a minimum distance appart. This type of lateral bracing is more or less "continuous".
Any thoughts?
