Notching in Sawn Lumber Members
Notching in Sawn Lumber Members
(OP)
The NDS limits the depth of the notch one can take on the tension face of a 2x member (NDS 2005, Section 4.4.3). The contractor has notched the ceiling joists more than the allowed.
The direction I would like to take to solve the issue is to strap accross the the opening with a CS16. Is this an adequate approach or is there a more typical way to reinforce the joist?
