    NDS Toenail Conx. Subject To Lateral and Withdrawal Loads

    I've dug myself into a deep hole of confusion on a topic that is probably very routine and simple: How do you apply the NDS equations to check a toenail connection subject to both withdrawal loading and lateral loading? Instead of a sketch of this situation, refer to to the 3D image in figure 1...

    OK to Ignore Portion of Diaphragm?

    I am determining the lateral force distribution through a wood-framed apartment building. Hardly any of the shear walls align across the central corridor. Also, there is a geometric irregularity that I haven't seen discussed anywhere: the corridor curves. So, my main question is really: Is it...

    NDS Group Action Factor - 1 Row of Bolts Perp To Grain

    NDS2015 Steel-to-wood bolted connection Background/problem description: I'm calculating the capacity of a connection for a steel beam framing into the side of a glulam beam. It is a simple connection with an angle bolted to the end of the steel beam using (3) 3/4" diameter bolts and the...

    Pullout Capacity - Steel Handrail Embedded in Concrete

    Exhibit A: A 1.5" I.D. steel pipe is used as a handrail and as the vertical posts connected to the handrail). Per the Landscape Architect's detail, said handrail posts are to be embedded X inches into my reinforced concrete stair slab / beam. The concrete base will be core drilled, the steel...

    Woodworks Shearwall - Floor Openings

    Does anyone know how to model a floor opening in Woodworks Shearwall? My office recently purchased the design suite from Woodworks. The suite includes "Shearwall", a program used to analyze and design wood shear walls. I have watched tutorials and tinkered with some models, but so far I've been...

    AISC DG-02 Applicability to HSS Beams

    Can AISC design guide 02 be used to design and check web openings in a HSS member? I just finished using AISC DG 02 to evaluate a WF beam that is needing to be hole-punched through its web to allow a roof drain to pass through. As similar condition exists at an adjacent beam, but the adjacent...

    Wood Stud Capacity - Weak Axis Lateral Support

    I'm creating a spreadsheet to compare wood stud capacities (based on length, width/breadth, bracing, wood species/grade, etc., etc.). I'm questioning my assumptions for the lateral bracing of the stud. Specifically, I'm questioning the correct application of the NDS 2015 provision A.11.3...

    Wood-and-Steel Flitch Beam Analysis

    I'm designing a single, bolted flitch beam comprised of a 3/8"x7" A36 steel plate sandwiched between two 2x8 Southern Yellow Pine members (1.5" x 7.25" actual each). Each element is oriented with the long dimension vertical. The overall section will be subjected to strong-axis bending. This...

    NDS2015 Yield Limit Equations & Side Member Dowel Bearing Length

    Hi all, Using NDS2015, I'm calculating the connection capacity of a bolted knife plate connection in a heavy timber truss. The truss is to be constructed using 6"x6" nominal Douglas-Fir Larch truss members with 1/2" steel knife plates (i.e. an incision is made in the timber to sandwich and hide...

    Built Up Wood Beam - Beam Stability Factor

    Given a 3-ply sawn lumber bending member (face width oriented for strong axis bending), what width value, "b", would you use when evaluating the Beam Stability Factor, CL, in NDS 2015 3.3.3? For example: Let's say you have a 3-ply 2x10 bending member. Ignore the possibility that you may have...
