I just want to see what you guys usually do when you have steel ridge beam on residential project. The hanger of the rafters are face mount so you web pack the steel beam on each side with wood and secure it with what? Is 3/4 thrubolt @ 24 enough? Do you design this bolt like if the wood is spanning from bolt to bolt? Or do you assume it is going to bear on the flange? How do you usually web pack your steel beam?
