1. Allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern.
2. Loads apply only when used in pairs.
3. LPCZ lateral load is in the direction parallel to the beam.
4. MIN nailing quantity and load values - fill all round holes;
   MAX nailing quantities and load values - fill round and triangle holes.
5. Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions.
6. Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the post cap.
7. LCE4 uplift load for mitered corner conditions is 985 lbs. (DF/SP) or 845 lbs. (SPF). Lateral loads do not apply.
8. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-C-SCLCLM for values on the narrow face (edge).
9. NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
