Combined Lateral & Withdrawal Load on Fasteners
Design for simultaneous lateral and withdrawal forces on dowel-type fasteners with proper interaction checks.
Design connections subject to simultaneous lateral and withdrawal forces with CalcBook’s interaction-based module. The software applies the correct interaction equations for each fastener type and load direction. Perfect for sloped or uplift-loaded connections where withdrawal can’t be ignored.
Fastener Types Covered:
Lag Screws
Wood Screws
Common, box, and sinker nails
Post-frame & roof sheathing ring shank nails
Included Modification Factors:
Load Duration
Wet Service
Temperature
End Grain
Diaphragm
