Fastener Shear and Pull-Out Capacities 2

[JEB777]

Good morning. I'm looking for the shear capacities and pull-out capacities for two types of fasteners:
1. 16d common nail
2. 3.5" long deck screw

Many thanks,

Well they depend what type of wood you are going into, the orientation of the members, the usage (wet use?) amongst other things. It's a fairly straight forward calc per the NDS...

May I reccomend the following AWC Calculator for the shears...

Is there a reference on-line I can go to to determine shear capacity for a 16d common nail and a #8/#10 deck screw?

thanks,

Both the "Western Woods Use Book" and the "Douglas-Fir Use Book" have such values.
