twice. The first one was built (it looked great), and the inspector never
asked for engineering. The second one I asked for a fee and time line the
contractor couldn't stomach, so they built something else. So, I still
don't know how to prove the design, but I have always been curious how to do
it.
I think given some time and research I could figure out the stresses. But,
what are the allowable shear and torsion values for the plywood beam? This
was always where I hit a dead end.
I'd be interested, Gerard, to hear how you handled this.
