Connection to Glulam beam below neutral axis
Connection to Glulam beam below neutral axis
(OP)
I have a situations where connection jack trusses to the bottom of a 28.5" glulam beam would be convenient. the jack truss is only carrrying 400# at the glulam. I know that shear in cross grain tension below the neutral axis is not optimal. I'm also aware of ANSI/TPI 1-2002/2007 talks about this kind of connection, but does not include glulams and other materials.
Does anyone have any comments on this and/or sources for understanding this type of connection better?
Thanks,

Just block and nail appropriately for the load path. The nailing of the shearwall plate to the beam should suffice if enough.
