How do you calculate the shear load of a nail?

it's fairly simple. The shear strength of the material must be known. Steel is normally 44000 psi in single shear and 88000 psi in double shear. The cross-sectional area of the nail times the shear strength will give you the point of failure of the nail itself, or maximum destructive load. s x a = l Example: an 8d common nail has a diameter of 0.131 inches and a shear strength of 45000 psi the destructive load capacity of the nail in single shear is: 45000 psi x (0.131" x 0.131" x 0.78539) = 606.513 pounds of force. Divide this number by the required factor of safety to get the maximum design capacity for your structure. [ often f.s. = 3, 4, or 5] * cross-sectional area = diameter squared times 1/4 pi note: shear strengths of nails often exceed the crush strength of the material in which they are used.

Which screw is equal to a 16 penny nail?

You cannot use a screw to replace a 16 penny nail, as it will not have near enough shear strength. You can easily see this in action by driving a nail halfway into a board, and likewise sinking a screw halfway down. Now hit them both with a hammer perpendicular to their direction of attachment. However, if your application is not structural you will want a 3.5" screw "coarse thread" or about 8 gauge...(coarse thread will look similar to a sheetrock screw thread)
