KootK, I'm lovin' the honesty here regardless of whether or not I agree with your points. It's always good to see a different...

I brought up the custom hanger idea because OP was concerned about the light gauge Simpson connector rusting through. With a 1/4" thick...

It can be the same dimensions as the beam (width and height). In that case the welds would be along the inside of the flanges. The...

To be fair, I doubt anything is surviving a 1g acceleration.

The detail specifics would depend on OPs conditions, although I wouldn't be relying only on friction. I was picturing a web nailer...

Use AdGuard AdBlocker. It eliminates most of this crap. Without it, this site isn't useable.

This isn't a detail I use often (bearing the joist on the beam btm flange), although I think this would induce less torsion than packing...

Hopefully the beam is also HDG. I don't think I'd be overly concerned with an HDG beam, PT nailer on top, with all HDG top flange...

Use HDG or Stainless. Don't mix them. Zinc and Stainless are very reactive and galvanic corrosion will eat those nails.

Normally, I bear the steel beam directly on the PSL post, but I see no issue with your detail, especially considering the relatively...

Was his work good or not so good? They'll likely expect the same from you (for the same fee). In my experience, work like this tends...

Unless I misunderstand the framing (a sketch would be useful), there could still be ceiling joists tied to the jack rafters. As noted...

I believe this is only a commercial requirement, not residential.

This question comes up quite frequently here. If there's a flat ceiling, the outward thrust can be resisted by ceiling joists connected...

I'll admit I don't have a deep understanding of LRFD (like some here). However, if LRFD is truly the more accurate/consistent method, I...
