Wood Truss Plated Connections - Capacity
Wood Truss Plated Connections - Capacity
(OP)
We are evaluating an existing triple truss system (see attached photo), and are finding that the members are getting close to capacity, with some reasonable assumptions regarding wood type. However, we have very little information on the plated truss connections. Does anyone have any literature on these connections, or some reasonable assumptions we can make regarding their capacity? I realize they are a pre-engineered recipe, and that I might be grabbing at straws in the dark, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.
