I'm curious if jurisdictions are requiring Structural Engineer stamps. Since the top chord of the beams is only 1 3/8" thick should we be using shorter lag bolts for these installations? It also seems that it would be undesirable to penetrate into the web of the beam. Any advice would be appreciated here.
