A connection for timber members
A connection, a kit of parts, a modular building and associated methods. The connection comprising: a first timber member; a first connector assembly associated with the first timber member, the first connector assembly comprising: a plurality of elongate anchor members, each anchor member comprising a first end extending into and fixed with respect to the first timber member; and a second end protruding from the first timber member, wherein each of the anchor members defines a hole perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the anchor member for receiving a bolt; the connection further comprising: a plate connected or connectable to a second member, the plate defining at least one hole for receiving a bolt; at least one plurality of bolts, the or each bolt configured to extend through at least one of the anchor members and plate; wherein for the or each bolt, at least one of the corresponding anchor member hole or plate hole is oversized so as to receive the corresponding bolt with a clearance fit; and the or each bolt is configured to clamp the plate and anchor member such that relative movement of the plate and first connector assembly is resisted by friction caused by the clamping force provided by the plurality of bolts. Figure 1A is to published with the abstract.
