Dowel-Nut Connection in Douglas-Fir Peeler Cores
Structural application of small-diameter timber is currently limited by conventional construction standards. The round tapered shape is not compatible with conventional framing and cladding methods. Round timber connections are generally custom made and their design properties are based on limited test data, making these connections expensive and their design capacity conservative. The Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) has initiated a research program to assess uses for small-diamter timber in an effort to encourage more effective use of this material. The objectives of this study were as follows: To provide a basis for deriving design stresses for 127-mm-(5-in.-) diameter Douglas-fir peeler cores to be used as axially loaded elements in a space frame truss roof assembly; To add to the limited knoweldge on techniques for making more efficient use of small-diameter round timber. This paper describes test procedures and results for a very specific application.
