Notes: |
|
1. Values shown are for reference only. |
|
2. Typical values obtained under ambient
temperature conditions (70°F). |
|
3. Typical values are not meant for design
analysis. |
|
4. Compression values are obtained from
compressive strength parallel and perpendicular to length. |
|
5. Nails must have a diameter less than or equal
to that of a 16d common nail. |
|
6. Galvanized No. 10 deck screw 2-1/2 inches
long. |
|
