Q5.31: Section 5.2.a outlines that “vertical frame members must have a clear space of at least 0.25”… [but this] does not apply to horizontal… frame members.” Section 5.4.b adds that the faying surface of two members “shall not exceed 1” from the centroid of the faying surface.” Are we allowed to have a horizontal frame member, the length of which is under 2”, glued along its length to other horizontal frame members, an example of which is included in image 1 (image 1 shown in answer)?
