References for increased values for clinched nails
References for increased values for clinched nails
(OP)
I have heard of increasing allowable values for nails when the backs are clinched. The most common application I can think of is for wooden roof truss repairs. Can someone direct me to any literature or design guides which implement, and validate, the increased load capacity for common nails.
Thank you,

Look up National Wooden Pallet & Container Association and Virginia Tech they both have done alot of work on the withdrawal index of nails from oak.
