Design Notes

Capacity of primary load path is controlled by perpendicular-to-grain bearing capacity of floor panel or notch.
Reasonable minimum notch bearing width is 1″.
Shop machined notch provides more reliable elevation control than applied bracket or ledger.
In panel design, consider that panel is not continuous across connection and multi-span conditions may not be achievable.
Beam must be designed for reduced net section.
