This is the wish of the Arch/Owner on a screened porch. This is the typical eave side of a gable roof. The members support a beam that supports the roof framing. The demand on the 2x6's is about 1,000 lbs. ASD. The 2x6's actually check out (with gravity loads and a 200lb horizontal point load...
2.5k ASD demand., 10 deg. skew. I thought the beams stacked on top of each other but apparently not. Any way to justify a standard hanger (HU414) ? Can make get a red-iron one made if needed. Don't want to go the custom Simpson route.
W8x67 flush beam w/ 2x10 joists on each side. This is how I showed the beam being packed out....
This is what I got.. Basically, they did not put the OSB in and just cranked the (2)2x8 into the kern of the beam so it is sitting about 3/8" inside the edge of the flange...
Now the hangers are...
I don't do a lot of these any more as siding seems to be in-vogue around here. This house has 3 5/8" limestone veneer (44 PSF). How do y'all handle the situations where the lower roofs abut the 2-story portion? My goto has been to carry the veneer on angle bearing on a triple rafter (per the...
Is it any worse than any other residential dropped beam? I have a lowered ceiling (not shown) on the left side flush with the bottom of the beam if needed to resolve the torsion. Just curious of other's thoughts w/o the ceiling.
Revisiting this connector as a contractor wants to use it to attach a deck. How is pullout and side-to-side shear resisted? The tables only give downloads.

Another case of Simpson only solving 1/2 the...
I have a situation where a contractor wants to use tempered glass as an infill panel for a residential deck guardrail. The glass comes with a perimeter aluminum frame that then screws to the surrounding structure. The panel will fasten to the deck surface at the base and wood balusters at the...
On my 1st Gen Tundra, lower BJ failures are common. So common that it is standard practice to replace them with OEM every 100k miles. Toyota had a recall and improved the joints but the failures persist.
Seems the issue is the suspension is designed so the joint is in tension. Spring/shock...
Well, y'all know by now, I don't like i-joists. Here is reason #21.
I looked at flush, sloped hangers (LSSR2.1Z) and they are like $20 a piece.
How do y'all handle this situation?
Honestly, money is not an issue on this job, but it is just against my principals for someone to spend $20 on a...
Looked at a house today with 20' span, 11 7/8" TJI230 spaced 19.2" O.C. In an open room with vinyl plank flooring, the joists were sagging 1/2".
I looked at an old TJI table and they are rated at 19'-11 at this depth and span for L/360. So basically meet minimum code - Yay!
In a current TJI...
How do y'all feel about these types of connections at the end of the beam? The capacity does not seem to be reduced in the Simpson tables. Seems like fastener end distance would be an issue.
This is a 32 ft. long ridge, 24" LVL beam with a 10 ft. cantilever. Would you consider the bottom "flange" of the LVL braced by the rafters? I am more interested in the negative moment introduced by the cantilever gravity loads rafter than uplift of the ridge as we are not in a high wind area.
I'm remotely involved in a job where a foundation company has given a huge estimate to an elderly woman for underpinning and rot repair. The estimate seems ridiculously high. She has already signed the contract. The foundation company hired an out-of-state firm to do the review. They are...
When checking deflection in a shored composite slab (after shoring is removed), Do I use “Id” and E for steel or E for concrete? (I assume E-steel as the numbers don’t seem to make sense otherwise). For long-term deflection, multiply DL deflection x 3?
Also, this is going on an exterior terrace...
I was reviewing a colleague's drawing. For rebar spacing, it showed, "#4 AT 18" O.C." I typically use "@". I feel like it I was going to spell out "AT" I would show "SPACED" instead.
Is there a convention?
Thanks
I need to adjust the jetting on a new build for a 125cc Honda Navi. Started as 110cc and added a cam, pipe and carb and bore. I just installed an A/F gage on it.
If for example, it says I am at 11:1 at WOT, and am running a 110 Main jet, should I try a 11/12.5 x 110 = 98 (say 100) main jet...
