This cantilever stuff has got me thinking.
Ok, the angle between a brace and joist if it is cantilevered. (without sips, just timber frame)
At what acute angle does the brace become inherently weak (all things being equal). I realize that as the stated angle becomes smaller you probably lose strength with each degree.... The brace would be tenoned into the joist that is cantilevered as far out as possible without sacrificing blow out of endgrain.
The greater the angle = more strength right?
I realize that are a lot of variables with this question but in general is there a point that you don't want to pass regarding the angle between joist and brace? Thanks for any thoughts.
