Are joist hangers pointless? 🤔 #carpentry #framing #construction #test
What happens here
Position the joist hanger-connected wooden assembly under the hydraulic press. Similar to the previous test, align the press's ram to apply downward force onto the top of the wooden support beam. Operate the hydraulic pump to gradually increase the pressure, carefully observing the pressure gauge. The video shows this connection withstanding at least 4 tons of pressure without catastrophic failure, demonstrating its superior strength compared to the toenail joint.
Goal: Measure the failure point of the joist hanger joint using a hydraulic press.
Tools and materials
- Hydraulic Press — Applying controlled, increasing force to the wooden joint
- Joist Hanger Test Specimen — The wooden joint being tested
- Pressure Gauge — Measuring the force applied by the hydraulic press
