lumber brace edge distance minimum for lag screws?
(OP)
I will be using a diagonal brace similar to this picture. I only have very minimal axial loads on the brace.
So the brace size and bolts will be minimum. This guide from FEMA doesn't show the edge distance and bolt distance.
I plan on using 1"x6" for the diagonal brace but not sure if I will meet the minimum edge distances required.
Also I'm used to using 3/4" dia bolt as minimum for steel in my industry.
What is the minimum bolt diameter you will use in this case (lumber/timber) brace?
