The NDS requires 4 bolt diameters from the centerline of 
the bolt to the loaded edge of a wood member and 1.5 
bolt diameters from the centerline of the bolt to the 
unloaded edge of the wood member.  Does this mean for a 
wood beam that is loaded with gravity load and is 
supported at its end by a steel plate on each side (no 
bearing bucket under the beam) with bolts, that the 4D 
dimension is from the centerline of the top bolt to the 
top of the beam and the 1.5D dimension is from the 
centerline of the bottom bolt to the bottom of the beam?
