wood floor joist shear strength
what is the best way to estimate the shear strength of a peticular wood truss? i have been able to backwork span tables to find moment strength, but is there some sort of rule of thumb for max shear?
find a job or post a job opening
do you mean wood joist or wood truss? the shear stress in a wood joist is 1.5 times the shear divided by the cross sectional area. the shear capacity of a wood truss is controlled by the axial capacity of the web member nearest the support.
