Eq. E4.5.2-1
t1 - thickness of member in contact with
screw head or washer
dw - larger of screw head diameter or
washer diameter
Fu1 - tensile strength of member in contact
with screw head or washer
O = 2.35
Q - required allowable shear strength
T - required allowable tension strength
fv =
0.65
Vu - required shear strength
Tu - required tension strength
