TIMBER HANGER CONNECTIONS
TIMBER HANGER CONNECTIONS
(OP)
Disregarding load testing...What type of analysis/calculations can be used to justify the, relatively, high loads that light gage timber/hanger connections appear to have? Also, what literature
is available in this regard?
Thank You,

RE: TIMBER HANGER CONNECTIONS
You know how many nail holes you have in your hanger, and the gage of the hanger. You should be able to calculate what loads can be expected.

RE: TIMBER HANGER CONNECTIONS
my question was a little misleading--
what i ,actually, have is a 1/4" thick "U" shaped
metal hanger with an upside down "L" plate
attached to the "U" shaped portion--it is a 1/4" thick
plate assembly configeration...
--the framing is a 6"x18" glulam purlin connecting to
a 10"x30" main beam. the vertical leg of the upside "L"
has 4 --3/4 dia mach. bolt through the plate and the
10" main beam and the horizontal leg of the "L" is bearing
on top of the main beam.--the purlin is bearing inside
the "U"--now, what is the load distribution between
the 4 bolts in the web of the main beam and the bearing
of the horizontal leg of the "L" on top the beam?
