1) Allowable loads are derived from tested fastener values as reported in ICC-ES ESR-2761.
2) All numbers in this table are based on Douglas Fir-Larch (DF), Southern Pine (SP), and Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF).
The DF/SP values are based on SG ≥ 0.50. The SPF values are based on 0.42 ≤ SG < 0.50.
3) The uniform loads in this table relate only to the capacity of the fastener to transfer shear loads between plies.
The capacity of the beam may be less and should be verified by design professional.
4) Values listed reflect 100% load duration. (C
D
=1.0) The designer may apply adjustment factors to increase or
decrease these loads per the NDS based on conditions for each assembly.
5) To minimize rotation, 6" wide beams shall be side loaded only when loads are applied to both sides of the beam,
with the lesser loaded side bearing at least 25% of the overall design load.
6) Load values depicted assume all uniform load is applied to the outermost ply or point of entry for the screw.
7) Tip side loading to beam is allowed for 50% of listed allowable side load. Head side and tip side of beam can be
loaded concurrently so long as they do not exceed listed capacity. (Example: A 3-ply assembly with a head side
load of 1,400 plf and tip side load of 700 plf may be fastened together with 3 rows of WSWH screws at 16" O.C.
spacing between fasteners in a row).

Side Loaded Beams
Where oor joists are joined to the side of the beam (typically using a joist hanger), this load chart must be used
to establish the proper pattern based on the design load as determined by the engineer and noted on the plans.
