82 M10: MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS<br />
Adjustable Style Hanger<br />
Adjustable style joist and truss hangers have straps<br />
which can be either fastened to the face of a supporting<br />
member, similar to a face mount hanger, or wrapped over<br />
the top of a supporting member, similar to a top flange<br />
hanger.<br />
Seismic and Hurricane Ties<br />
Seismic and hurricane ties are typically used to connect<br />
two members that are oriented 90º from each other. These<br />
ties resist forces through the shear capacity of the nails in<br />
the members. These connectors may provide resistance in<br />
three dimensions.<br />

Connecting Roof Framing to Top Plates<br />
Flat Straps<br />
Flat straps rely on the shear capacity of the nails in the<br />
wood members to transfer load.<br />
Holddowns and Tension Ties<br />
Holddowns and tension ties usually bolt to concrete<br />
or masonry, and connect wood members to the concrete<br />
or masonry through the shear resistance of either nails,<br />
screws, or bolts. They may also be used to connect two<br />
wood members together.<br />
