Plywood Gusset or OSB Gusset for DIY trusses
Plywood Gusset or OSB Gusset for DIY trusses
(OP)
Could someone walk me through a simple/sample calculation of, "how to design a plywood gusset" for truss joint connections. I conservatively want to design the gusset based on nailing (BUT I will be gluing too).
I will be using 7/16 OSB gusset plates with common nails and the truss chord is a 2x6. The force in the chord is 800#.
Or, is there a link to a design example that someone could share?

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.
