Product: Connection Calculator
Description: Provides users with a web-based approach
to calculating capacities for single bolts, nails, lag
screws, and wood screws per the 2015 NDS. Both
lateral (single and double shear) and withdrawal
capacities can be determined. Wood-to-wood, wood-to-
concrete, and wood-to-steel connections are possible.
