Steel connections, bearing and roof framing in Gledswood Hills NSW
Two thirds of the Gledswood Hills frame findings are about connections rather than members. Bolts and stiffeners at the steel columns and beams. Bearing where a member sits on its support. A rafter cut short of that bearing. Blocking, struts and supports in the roof framing. Joist hangers not installed in a first floor. A king stud at an opening and a header over it. None of these is a dramatic failure and all of them are the difference between a frame that carries what it was designed to carry and one that carries slightly less, forever, out of sight.
