Combining Nail and Bolt Strengths
Combining Nail and Bolt Strengths
(OP)
Does anyone know of any information for combining different fastener strengths. Such as nails with bolts or any other combination for that matter?

I would think a prudent design would to find the maximum capacity of your nails first, and then size an appropriate bolting connection to take up the rest as the nails will usually fail first.

OS86 - 10.2.2.3.1 & 10.2.2.3.2: "... fastenings of the same type and size arranged symmetrically..."

@msquared - Good points.
This is evaluating an existing condition that has been there for a long while. If designing new I would not combine them. For my situation even combining the nails and bolts did not meet the required strength, so I will need to reinforce the connection ("but at has stood for years!" they will shout I'm sure). I was curious for future reference.
