Eccentric Loading of bolt groups
Eccentric Loading of bolt groups
(OP)
Anyone know where there is any guidance on how to handle eccentric loading on bolt groups in wood beams? I don't see anything on it in the 2001 NDS but maybe I am missing something.

That being said, fixed connections are difficult to achieve in wood.

Thing is, you've got to place the bolts pretty far apart to get decent moment capacity. This means, there is substantial overlap.
Other than that, it works fine.
