Abstract

hanger for connecting a structural member to a structural support including a base sized and shaped for receiving the structural member thereon. First and second side panels extend upward from the base. First and second back panels each extend from a respective one of the side panels. First and second top flanges each extend from a respective one of the back panels. An opening in one of said first and second side panels and said first and second back panels is configured to receive a fastener to attach the hanger to one of the structural member and the structural support. A slot is adjacent the opening. An area between the opening and the slot defines a yieldable portion selected to deform at a load that is less than the shear load capacity of the fastener when received through the opening for connecting the hanger to one of the structural member and the structural support.

Claims (10)

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
1. An anti-shearing construction connector for connecting a first structural member to a second structural member using one or more fasteners so as to inhibit shearing off said one or more fasteners by the construction connector, the construction connector comprising: a first connection portion configured to attach to the first structural member; and a second connection portion connected to the first connection portion and configured to be attached to the second structural member using said one or more fasteners for transferring loads between the first and second structural members when the construction connector connects the first and second structural members, the second connection portion including one or more yieldable portions and defining one or more apertures, each aperture of the one or more apertures partially defined by a single yieldable portion of the one or more yieldable portions, each aperture configured to receive one of said one or more fasteners to attach the second connection portion to the second structural member, each yieldable portion being configured to change a dimension of its corresponding aperture by deforming at a load that is less than a shear load capacity of the fastener received through the aperture when the fastener engages the yieldable portion; wherein the second connection portion further includes a slot adjacent to each yieldable portion opposite the aperture; wherein each yieldable portion has a dimension extending in a first direction between its corresponding aperture and its corresponding slot, the dimension of each yieldable portion being less than a diameter of its corresponding aperture; wherein each slot has a height extending generally parallel to the first direction and a width extending generally perpendicularly to the first direction, the height of each slot being less than the diameter of its corresponding aperture so that the fasteners are inhibited from being received in each slot, the width of each slot being greater than the diameter of its corresponding aperture.
2. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein each yieldable portion is sized and shaped to resist a load prior to deforming that is between about 75% and about 90% of the shear load capacity of the fastener received through its corresponding aperture.
3. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein each yieldable portion has a dimension extending in a direction that is radially outward from its corresponding aperture, the dimension of each yieldable portion being less than a diameter of its corresponding aperture.
4. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein the first connection portion further includes one or more yieldable portions, each yieldable portion of the first connection portion partially defining an aperture in the first connection portion, each aperture of the first connection portion configured to receive one of said one or more fasteners to attach the first connection portion to the first structural member, each yieldable portion of the first connection portion being configured to change a dimension of its corresponding aperture of the first connection portion by deforming at the load that is less than a shear load capacity of the fastener received through the aperture when the fastener engages the yieldable portion.
5. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein each yieldable portion is configured to deform without breaking at a load that is less than a shear load capacity of the fastener received through its corresponding aperture.
6. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein the one or more yieldable portions includes a yieldable portion positioned above its corresponding aperture.
7. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein the one or more yieldable portions includes a yieldable portion positioned below its corresponding aperture.
8. The construction connector of claim 1, wherein the one or more yieldable portions includes a first yieldable portion and a second yieldable portion and the one or more apertures includes a first aperture and a second aperture, the first aperture being partially defined by the first yieldable portion and the second aperture being partially defined by the second yieldable portion, the first yieldable portion and the first aperture being vertically misaligned from the second yieldable portion and the second aperture.
9. A connector for connecting a first structural member to a second structural member using one or more fasteners, the construction connector comprising: a first connection portion configured to attach to the first structural member, the first connection portion defining: a first aperture configured to receive one of the fasteners to attach the first connection portion to the first structural member; and a first slot adjacent the first aperture, the first slot being dimensioned so that the fasteners are inhibited from being received in the first slot, the first slot and the first aperture being shaped and arranged relative to each other to define a first yieldable portion of the first connection portion selected to deform at a load that is less than the shear load capacity of the fastener when received through the first aperture for connecting the construction connector to the first structural member; and a second connection portion connected to the first connection portion and configured to attach to the second structural member, the second connection portion defining: a second aperture configured to receive one of the fasteners to attach the second connection portion to the second structural member; and a second slot adjacent the second aperture, the second slot being dimensioned so that the fasteners are inhibited from being received in the second slot, the second slot and the second aperture being shaped and arranged relative to each other to define a second yieldable portion of the second connection portion selected to deform at a load that is less than the shear load capacity of the fastener when received through the second aperture for connecting the construction connector to the second structural member; wherein the first slot is disposed above the first aperture and the second slot is disposed below the second aperture.
10. The construction connector of claim 1, substantially as herein described with reference to any embodiment disclosed.
