What is the curve radius? I agree with Pham's comments, but if the radius is large enough, you may be able to get away with avoiding kerfing. I would be concerned with kerfing due to unbraced lengths of the studs, full wall width blocking at 12" intervals would be required if you go that route...
What precisely is the question that you are asking here? Fcperp is a unique attribute of wood that has values assigned based on a proportional limit approach. This differs from the approach used for other properties (fcparallel, Fb, Fv, etc). Be aware that OSB does not typically have uniform...
So I'm curious, what have you tried at this point in time? Sounds like you're doing some fishing for answers which can be a good exercise sometimes. I have no experience with Python integration with outlook's desktop application. Is it possible? Maybe, hard to say. How will you ensure the email...
What calculations have you performed to check the plate? You're asking us if the plate thickness is sufficient, but how have you confirmed that yourself?
I read the plan check comments more as pointing to needed seismic anchorage back into the structure, rather than checking for withdrawal of the fasteners into the ledger. Did you provide connections for the deck back into the main structure, or did you design them as separate structures, and...
Thanks for asking, I use a pallet jack. Don't want to get too crazing with loading on the floor. We don't typically do much cooking, so we park it next to the kitchen island. I'm told that's the strongest place in any house.
Throwing my hat in here, I always just ratio the given reaction. Is it a perfect solution? No, but it's close enough to satisfy me.
If a reaction is give as 1387lbs, and the design loading overtop is 15psf TC DL, 5psf BC DL, 20 RL, 35 SL, I'll just assume a worst-case load combo (DL + SL) and...
Chapter(s) 11 and 12 provide all the info needed. You'll take a 0.67 adjustment for end grain factor, but you'll still get the Cd factor of 1.6, so those two essentially wash out.
You'll need to nail through only (1) ply of the double king, or use a very long nail, because NDS 12.1.6.4 requires...
Ah, how interesting. There used to be one, but I do not see it anymore either. I'll have to explore. @phamENG originally pointed the zoom feature out on a previous post, wonder if he has an option.
The entire PDF is loaded into an i-frame viewer. What does that mean for you? That means that there is a zoom button on the bottom of the viewer window that allows you to zoom into the PDF directly, this prevents blurriness. I assume you were trying to ctrl+mouse wheel to zoom in, which is a...
On your drawing you indicate less than 2ft. From a code standpoint, I am going to buck everyone else's opinion on this one and say that these should be pressure treated. In unconditioned crawl spaces, IBC requires at least 18" for untreated wood, this is exterior with likely less than 18" airgap...
