structural engineering.
(OP)
I am designing connection for two wood beams connected to each other by bolts or lag screws. The lag screw or bolts are provided in three rows and at a certain spacing along the length of beams. How the check for the connection strength if a udl is acting on the combined beam along the length.
Thanks.
Thanks.
RE: structural engineering.
If the UDL is acting evenly on the combined beam (and the connected beams are of the same section), then there is no structural need for the connection unless perhaps to provide additional stability for slender beams.
If the beams are of different sections, or if the UDL is applied directly to one beam and not the other, then there are calculations that can be performed.
RE: structural engineering.
The udl on the beam is due to heavy load from the framing.
