Hello,
Did they give any indication of the capacity of this hanger? I found some information on the hanger as your copies indicated, but no loads. The older buildings have always intrigued me, even though existing conditions can get to be a headache! Thanks for the response.
Hello, I am working on a project that has an old steel wood hanger. It was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio by the Duplex Hanger Company. The existing building is an old warehouse built around 1910. The interior is framed with heavy timber joists, beams and columns. One floor uses these...
If the numbers work for lag screws, this would be a much simpler fix. The design calcs would need to be run through to get the actual sizes and spacing, but this would be a cost effective solution. In my opinion, this would be similar to how 2 hour shaft walls are framed in wood apartment...
The 4D and 7D numbers match the NDS specifications.
I like the idea of notching out the drywall locations at the bolts and add the washers. A good way to keep the drywall from crushing.
The pilot holes are necessary to help keep the wood from splitting.

The 220 plf allowable is from the 2001 NDS Manual for Wood construction. If the wall is constructed and sheathed, lag screws would be the best option. I would check with a local engineer to give you a sketch showing the spacing requirements for the bolts and a bolt size that will work...
Jim,
I saw your post and had a couple of questions. In order to get the full NDS design value for a lag bolt, the penetration needs to be 8d, (4" min. for 1/2" diameter bolt), with a minimum pentration of 4d. If your load is 660 plf, a 1/2" lag has an allowable of 220 plf, you would need 4...
Thanks for the info. I was thinking that anchor bolts cast in the slab was the best. I am anticipating the contractor wanting to drill and use sleeve anchors or epoxy. The embedded steel plates you mentioned would they be continuous with threaded studs for the plate or some other connection?
Greetings all,
I have a question regarding the connection of wood sill plates to a post tensioned slab. I am working on an apartment building that is wood framed. The wood framing will be supported by a post tensioned slab over a parking garage. I will need to connect the shear, load bearing...
I was doing some research on this topic for a home remodel, but the project went away before I got too in depth. A starting point I found is the following link. I hope it helps you out.

I was wondering what experience other people have had with wood panelized walls. The walls are to be framed off site, shipped to the job and then erected. What has been your experience with them? How have they connected adjacent panels when they are being erected? Do you specify shop...
