3-Ply CFS Header
3-Ply CFS Header
(OP)
Does anyone have a creative idea on how to tie a 3-ply CFS header together, without leaving one side "open" and yet maintaining the structural integrity of having all three plies act as one?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

I just don't consider them "intimately" tied together unless i can either fasten the webs together, as in an "i" shape, or make a box with the tracks screwed into the side of plies at top and bottom. I don't see this as possible with the inner ply.

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.

But, i decided simply to use a 2-ply 12x3x97 instead of 3-ply 12x162x97. I don't know why i didn't think of that earlier... rough and busy day i suppose...
