Innovative connection in wooden trusses

Highlights A new connection system for traditional timber truss is proposed. The new truss is theoretically analysed (FEA), built and tested on a test bench. The original connection system is running as expected. The new joint withstands forces 4 time higher than design value, without fail. It can easily protect a large surface of the sides of the building from precipitation.
Abstract An innovation of the traditional timber truss is proposed, designed, built and tested. It is an original joining system to connect the top-chord and the tie–beam. The joint studied enables prolonging the rafter over the linkage with the tie, so as to form overhanging eaves. The behaviour of the connection under loads was analysed either by considerations relating to the possible limit states and by means of Finite Elements Analysis (FEA). In accordance with the design which was theoretically analysed, a prototype was made and it was subjected to loading tests that gave positive results.
