Hi-
We are desparate for calcs and information to help prove that a 170 year old white oak TF w/hickory joints can pass structural code for California seismic code for area 4.

I've downloaded the joint and peg reports from U of Wyoming and hope that someone out there has dealt with seismic issues for joints and pegs.

Our structural engineer is having a very difficult time and may want to put knife joints and sheer everywhere-- any help or ideas are appreciated.
