Joist hangers and end moments
Joist hangers and end moments
(OP)
When you're designing a floor that has wood joists framing into other joists, do you consider the hangers transmitting moment? I have three 2x10 joists framing into a double 2x10 and it's failing in torsion when I consider the ends of the single joists as fixed, but it's obviously okay when I call it pinned.
How would you model this? Is moment really transferred?
Maybe I should just upgrade to a larger LVL beam to be sure?

BUT you could use tie straps to get the beam to have top and bottom bracing at each joist to prevent LTB rotation. Stability bracing is not too hard to come by.
