10d Common Nail
10d Common Nail
(OP)
Does anyone know the shear strength of a 10d common nail? Is there a website that might list such capacities?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: 10d Common Nail
The shear strength of a nail is kind of meaningless in a vacuum. The geometry, side member and main member properties are important.
Note that the NDS does not specify and ASTM standard for nails. It's up to the designer to do so.

You will find allowable lateral bearing loads and withdrawl loads in various tables based on the nail size, depth of penetration, the wood species, and type of connection, but no general number for shear for the nail alone as the lumber is critical and there are just too many variables. If you need that, for whatever reason, you will have to calculate it based on the area and allowable shear stress for the nail.
If you can get your hands on it, check for these allowable values for pullout and lateral bearing in the "Western Woods Use Book", or similar publications.

In the U.S.A., a 10d common nail has a length of 3" and a diameter of 0.148". There are several charts available on the internet. Try the following link:

Also review NDS-2005, Table 11N COMMON WIRE, BOX, or SINKER
NAILS: Reference Lateral Design Values (Z) for Single Shear (two member) Connections for sawn lumber or SCL with both members
of identical specific gravity (page 97)
