4 x 8 LEDGER with 3/4 in DIA. A.B.'s @ 36 in o.c.
SIMPSON PLURLIN ANCHOR PAI23 w/ 11-10d x 1 1/2 Nails @ 36 in o.c.
ANALYSIS
THE DIAPHRAGM SHEAR TRANSFERS INTO THE TOP OF THE LEDGER BY NAILS THOUGH PLY WOOD AND THE LEDGER BOLTS WOULD
RESIST BOTH THE DIAPHRAGM SHEAR BY PARALLEL TO GRAIN BEARING AND THE GRAVITY LOAD BY PERPENDICULAR TO GRAIN
BEARING. LATER FORCES IN THE OTHER DIRECTION WOULD BE RESIST BY SIMPSON PLURLIN ANCHORS.
