2005年9月29日 · But, assuming an allowable stress of 36,000 psi (way less than the NDS uses) a 16d nail (0.135" dia for box nails) will take about 500 lbs before failing without considering any factor of safety. Common nails (0.162" dia) about 740 lbs. This is quite bit more than published values for any lumber species. I would go with the published values.

2001年1月6日 · Re: Common nails Vs sinkers Comparing nails to nails can be like comparing apples to oranges. A 10d common has the same diameter (0.148)as a cement coated 16d sinker and has the same shear values. A 10d common has a length of 3 inches and a 16d sinker has a length of 3 1/4 inches and are "usually" interchangeable.

2013年9月3日 · Re: GRK R4 Multipurpose screw vs. 16d framing nails To revive an old post, I was looking for data as well. I spent 4 months building in the Netherlands where framing is done exclusively with screws. It's difficult to even find a 16d sinker, or anything equivalent.

2003年11月23日 · Re: 16D shorts-3 1/4" code approved SJP mentioned "GRIP RITE" nails.I was at Lowes a couple weeks ago looking for nails for my Paslode and had a box of Grip Rite in my hand comparing when a stranger [also looking for nails] told me "don,t buy those,they will mess your gun up".Has anyone had problems w/generic nails or is it just a myth?Oh,I bought …

2004年10月19日 · This discussion came up recently with another experienced framer and I told him that I would "ask" the JLC forum users. Our local building code requires 2 16d nails when end nailing studs to the top and bottom plate. It does NOT specify 2x4 or 2x6. What is your opinion and why regarding end nailing 2x6 studs? TWO or THREE 16d nails. THANKS!

2000年12月20日 · When you are nailing members together as called for in "the code" remember these are for common nails, not gun nails. This is critical in cases of shear loading. A 16d common nail has a diameter of .162", while a 16d gun nail diameter is only .131", the equivalent of an 8d common. Dave

2005年10月2日 · For the lumber to lumber connection the numbers around 100-140# are correct for 16d nails depending on common vs. box, species of lumber used, moisture content, duration of load, etc. etc. In general, nails have a safety factor of around 5-times. Meaning the design value or working load is about 1/5 of the ultimate load.

2006年1月15日 · Re: shear strength of finish nails In 3/4" thick wood each side: Finish nails have about 2/3 the strength of common nails for the same penny weight size because their diameters are that much smaller. 8d common nail has a shear strength of 70 lbs. 8d finish nail is about 54 lbs 16d common nail is 96 lbs. 16d finish nail is about 62 lbs.

2006年1月16日 · Re: shear strength of finish nails I would use a hardened screw, a #10, 4" long also 16d finish nails to install the door. Thats what I use for exterior doors when I get there to "adjust" them when the framer tacked them in through the brickmold.

2004年11月8日 · 2x6 3 nails 2x8 3 nails 2x10 4 nails 2x12 5 nails. Our code requires 4 16d to nail a 2x12 rim to a floor joist. I also nail the rim down to the plate 12" OC. with 8d . I have reciently seen a nailing scheduial for timber strand at 8" OC. The floor sheathing is nailed to the floor joist and rim joist so there is no need for more than 4 nails .
