Wood bearing resistance around bolt hole
Wood bearing resistance around bolt hole
(OP)
Hi,
I have a wood connection problem. If I have a [2x12] laying flat and I have a bolt with a washer. How do you calculate the bearing resistance of the wood under the washer. The force acting on the bolt is perpendicular to the wood. (see image below)
thank you

Say that you have a 2x12 bolted on top of a steel beam and you place a upward load at one end of it and calculate the force at the bolt/washer. In this case you have a high need IMHO to also check the 2x12 for cross bending at the washer.
