Ct = 1
*For application in less than 100F.

CL = 1
*Compression edge must be supported throughout its length to prevent lateral displacement, and the ends at pts of bearing have lateral support to prevent rotation

Cb = 1
*Bearing area must be at least 6" in length parallel to grain.
44
Cb (the bearing area factor) is a factor that is multiplied into the bearing strength equation that we used to determine the required bearing width.
