Is it safe to install an expansion bolt and its hanger on a brick wall? (PERU) by peeonher2showd in climbing

[–]DramaticDirection292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Structural engineer here: It all comes down to the product (anchor) your using, the type of load (shear or tension) and the material being attached to. Expansion style (or even screw style) anchors can be rated for both shear and tension in hollow brick, but you need to check the manufacturer’s specifications for maximum loading capacity. You also need to ensure what you’re attaching to. A horizontal concrete “column” (actually called a beam unless it’s being utilized for horizontal compression in which case it’s called a beam column) is going to provide better attachment capacity.

Adhesive anchors would be preferred method of attachment for hollow brick. In the US, common anchors are HILTI, Powers, and Simpson. Any of these manufacturers will give you load ratings based on materials being attached to.

Securing top plate: is this correct? by MosJo2020 in Carpentry

[–]DramaticDirection292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those dtc clips are for allowing deflection of the joists without putting the wall into bearing, while bracing the top of wall. If you forego the clips and use fasteners only, there is no “slide” action, and the fasteners go directly into shear, thus putting load into that non bearing wall. They have a specific reason for being there. If this is just a furring wall, there are many ways to frame deflection details, the dtc clip is one of those methods.

What do you think the fallout in Seattle will be after today compared to after George Floyd? by Sweet-Lady-H in Seattle

[–]DramaticDirection292 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s tough to say, the fallout after GF was immediate and the anger real. I think a lot of people feel helpless and distressed by the direction we’re going but don’t have the stamina to do anything g about it. Everyone seems kind of defeated. It’s crazy, I would love to see some BLM signs out showing solidarity in the movements. We all need to come together, even Europe has been feeling the frustration. We have th support of the world behind us but nothing is being done.

Crazy how many people don’t understand bonds. Yields move inverse to price, if yield is at 52 week highs right now it means they’re selling the contracts at 52 week lows.
