An alternative, simpler but more conservative method of determining the momentcapacity of a nail group is that recommended by Hutchings, as described below. Thisprocedure assumes the nails to be smeared as lines whose width (w) is proportional to thenailing density.FIGURE 10.7: Nails smeared as a continuous lineTo determine the polar moment of area of a line of width w <strong>and</strong> length about a point O asshown in FIGURE 10.8 can be shown by application of the parallel axes theorem, to be givenby:3w 2Ipo= + w r12FIGURE 10.8: Polar moment of a line width wFor each nail ring, assume the width w of the line of nails parallel to the grain is unity,then the width, w of the vertical line becomes:wvwhere: αnail spacing parallel to grain=nail spacing perpendicular to grain= the angle of the roof pitch.cos α128
