Wood Jack Stud check
Wood Jack Stud check
(OP)
I have seen simple and more complex calculations for the checking the stress from roof framing to jack studs. My question is: Can you use simply the Fc (compression parallel to the grain) allowable stress and compare to the fc = P/A? Or is it necessary to compute Kce, Cp, etc. for the more complex Fc'?
Also, is there ever a case to check the shear stress parallel to grain (Fv) for a jack stud?

2. For wind or seismic loading, it could come into play.
