Staggered weld stud pattern?
Staggered weld stud pattern?
(OP)
Hello,
Quick question about weld stud staggering for a wood nailer to HSS. If the plans say "HSS10X5 w/ 2 ROWS, 5/8" WELD STUD @ 24" OC STAGGERED" does this mean that within each row the studs are 24" OC, ultimatley making them 12" oc when the rows are staggered (so from the first stud in the top row to the first stud in the bottom row its 12" oc)? Or does it imply that the studs are 24" oc between staggered bolts (so from the first stud in the top row to the first stud in the bottom row its 24" oc) making the studs in each row actually 48" oc? My god, Ive over thought this.
Thanks
Joe

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

If in doubt more is better?
