I appreciate the response. I did contact Simpson and they are indeed very helpful.

I have a 12:12 roof pitch, 11 7/8" TJI 210 roof joist framing into a (2) 1 3/4" LVL valley beam. The Simpson hanger would need to be skewed 45 degrees and sloping 45 degrees, but the tables I am looking at only have a downsloping option for sloped conditions. Are there any with upsloping...
I've been asked to do the design for a compression ring at the peak of a hexagonal space. I have a general idea of how to analyze, but I want to run it by you all to see if any of you have done anything like this.

Sounds like a structural crack to me. The wall could just as easily be designed to span horizontally, and a 32'-0" long wall, 10 feet high should have had a buttress wall at mid span to resist the lateral pressure of the soil. That being said, one hairline crack is not an indication that the...
It has always been my understanding that there is no Code requirement for reentrant corner bars - but placing them there will prevent the likelyhood of cracking at these corners, so its good common sense practice. Even if the bar does not reach its full development length, it will provide some...

Most of my 8 years experience is with commercial. Last year I got a job with a company that does 90% residential, custom homes, spec homes, pole barns, additions, etc.
At my other companies, I would work on about 3 or 4 projects per month. Here I work on about 3 or 4 projects per day (or more...
It totally depends on what the soils report recommends as a maximum soil bearing pressure. If you are on dense sandstone with a allowable bearing of 5000 psf, you probably don't even need a footing (an 8" wall will give you 3333 pounds per lineal foot allowable - you have 1500). If you have...

I'm an ArchE from Oklahoma State. Its basically a structural engineering course with a bunch of design work thrown in. Looking back it at - the program is a joke (I thought it was worthwhile at the time). While I do appreciate a better understanding of the arch. design process, I could have...
Has anybody ever come across a post-tensioned timber beam circa 1920? I'm investigating an old church that experiences excessive deflections in the sanctuary floor. The girders consist of a 2-ply 2x something, with a 1/2" space on each side, then another 2x something on each side - so a 4-ply...
