Using fewer than 38 nails in the studs/post will reduce the capacity of the connection. To calculate a reduced capacity use 129 lb. per nail for DFL/SYP or 112 lbs. per nail for HF/SPF.
Nails in studs/post shall be installed symmetrically. Nails may be installed over the entire length of the strap over the studs/post.
The 3" wide beam may be double 2x members.
MSTC48B3 and MSTC66B3 installed over wood structural panel sheathing up to 1/2" thick achieve 0.85 of table loads.
Loads govern by the lower of .125" deflection from static tests on wood members, steel ultimate divided by 2, or the calculated nail values.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
