3. Clearance holes may not penetrate into the flange.
4. Requires a 10% reduction to design moment values.
5. Withdrawal capacity capped by the limit of 500 lbs for flange tear off.
Design Example:
Given:
TJI 230 joist series.
" x 1" lag screw thru " metal plate into bottom flange.
Find:
What is maximum withdrawal capacity of lag screw?
Solution:
From 2012 NDS Table L2, the dimensions for a " x 1" lag
screw are as follows: Figure 1: " x 1" Lag Screw
o H = 11/64"
o L = 1 "
o D = "
o Dr = 0.173"
o S = "
o T - E = 1 3/32"
o E = 5/32"
From Table 2, the reference design withdrawal value is 225 lbs/in of thread penetration.
From Table 1, the flange thickness of a TJI 230 joist is 1".
Determine the length of thread engaged in the flange:
o Determine if the screw shank dimension, S, penetrates into the flange. In this example, the screw dimension "S"
is the same as the metal side member, so the shank does not penetrate the main member.
o Determine length of thread in the main member. Since the shank is not in the main member, the amount of
thread in the main member is the dimension "T - E", 1 3/32". In this case, the flange thickness is greater than the
"T - E" dimension (1" > 13/32"), so "T E" is the length of thread engaged in the flange. Had the "T - E"
dimension been greater than the flange thickness, the flange thickness would be used as the length of thread
engaged. .
Lag screw capacity = 1 3/32" x 225 lbs/in = 245 lbs of withdrawal capacity.
Check end, edge, and spacing requirements per 2012 NDS:
o Minimum End Distance = 4D = 1"
o Minimum Edge Distance = 1.5D = 3/8"
o Minimum Spacing = 4D = 1"
