Referring to “Wall Section A”, how many nails (and at what length) would you need to use at the connection between the 2X6’s and 2X8’s?
If we look at the drawing and check the sizes of framing members at each
location, we can see that the only place we have 2 X 6’s and 2 X 8’s together is
at the intersection between our rafters and our ceiling joists. Because we are
securing the rafters to joists, the edge can be considered as being supported.
Using the information we have gathered to navigate the nailing chat for framing
Table9.23.3.4, we can located the item that best identifies the location in
question:
Item 21 Rafter to joist(with idge supported):
Length of nail = 76mm
Minimum number of nails= 3
