1. Loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading
with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
2. Allowable loads are for one anchor. A minimum rafter thickness of
2 must be used when framing anchors are installed on each side
of the joist and on the same side of the plate (exception: H2.5A).
3. Allowable uplift load for stud to bottom plate installation is 400 lbs
(H2.5); 390 lbs (H2.5A); 360 lbs (H4) and 310 lbs (H8).
4. Allowable loads in the F
1
direction are not intended to replace
diaphragm boundary members or prevent cross grain bending of
the truss or rafter members. Additional shear transfer elements
shall be considered where there may be effects of cross grain bending or tension.
5. Hurricane Ties are shown installed on the outside of the wall for clarity. Installation on the inside of the wall
is acceptable. For uplift Continuous Load Path, connections in the same area (i.e. truss to plate and
plate to stud) must be on same side of the wall.
6. Southern Pine allowable loads for H14: 1465 lbs (133/160), 560 lbs (F1 Lateral 133/160) and
285 lbs (F2 Lateral 133/160).
7. Refer to T-HTIEBEARING for selected hurricane ties allowable bearing enhancement loads.
8. NAILS: 16dx2 0.162" dia. x 2 long, 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long,
8d 0.131" dia. x 2 long, 8dx1 0.131" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes
