Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
For a 2-2x4 bottom chord, multiply the down load by 0.50.
Wind (133/160) is a download rating.
Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and
T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria.
With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 1/2" nails and use 0.67 of the table value.
Tabulated hip and jack allowable loads assume that 75% of the total load is distributed to the hip and 25% to the jack. It is permitted to distribute 65% to 85% of the tabulated total load to the hip, and the remaining percentage of total load to the jack. The combined hip and jack load may not exceed the published Total Load.
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
