l d t1 t2 Start values - Thickness of timber / wood based panel - Penetration length of fastener - Diameter of connector - Embedment strength of material (function of density) - Yield moment of fastener
Start values General: • Embedment strength related to density better exploitation of material • For fasteners with > 8mmthe relationship between load bearing capacity and angle between force and grain direction has to be taken into account (not valid for nails with 8mm) • For screws with < 8mm the rules for nails and with 8mm the rules for bolts apply • Reduction of load bearing capacity for many fasteners in a row with exception of nails
Start values • Take into account minimum edge and space distances of fasteners General: • If the force direction deviates from the grain direction, tension perp. to grain has to be taken into account • The slip modulus of a connection for the ultimate limit state, Ku ,skould be taken as: Ku = 2/3 *Kser
Parallel acting of different fasteners Different slip moduli!!! No parallel acting of glue and fasteners!
Reduction of load bearing capacity If alternate medium and long term actions occur (tension Ft and compression Fc) the calculation should be done by Ft,d + 0,5*Fc,d Fc,d + 0,5*Ft,d
Weakening of cross section • Reduction of cross section has to be taken into account. Exceptions • Non-predrilled nails up to 6 mm diameter • Holes in the compression area, if they are filled with a material with a MOE equal or higher of the timber • Cross section reduction shall be taken into account in an area of min a/2 a = minimum spacing of fasteners
Lateral load carrying capacity • Different rules for: • Fasteners in single- and double-shear in timber-to-timber and timber-to-panel connections • Fasteners in single- and double-shear in timber-to-steel connections with thin and thick steel plates (thin: t 0,5 d) • Multiple shear plane connections
F F Thin and thick steel plates • Single shear plane timber-steel-connection Thick steel plate Thin steel plate Partly cantilevered dowel; Increased load- bearing capacity Twisting dowel
Validity • Rules apply for nails, staples, bolts, dowels and screws • The characteristic value Fv,Rk applies per fastener and per shear plane
timber - timber/panel-connections • Start values: t1 , t2 Thickness of timber/panel or penetration depth fh,i,k , Characteristic embedment strength fh,1, / fh,2,k d Fastener diameter My,k Characteristic fastener yield moment
timber - timber/panel-connections • Single shear plane– calculation of Fv,k Embedment strength failure
timber - timber/panel-connections • Single shear plane – calculation of Fv,k Fastener yield moment and embedment strength failure
timber - timber/panel-connections • Calculation of design value: with M = 1,3 for connections and if two different materials are involved (see clause 2.3.2.1)
