Exercises in Structural Design With Wood

State your assumptions. The answer follows.

  • Calculate pullout force of a nail in wood
  • How deep would a nail have to be driven into wood to break before pulling out?
  • Calculate pullout force of deck screw per inch.
  • When you reinforce 2x4 lumber at a joint with a 2 foot piece, how many deck screws would you need to use at the joint so that breakage of wood happens before pullout of screws?
