A Nailed Plate Connector for Glued-Laminated Timbers
The performance of a metal-to-wood fastener employing specially designed and hardened steel nails was determined for compressive and tensile loading. Variables such as nail length, nail spacing, fixity of nailhead in plate, form of shank, and end- and edge-distances were found to have pronounced effects on lateral strength and stiffness. Where fastenings contained large numbers of nails, strength on a per nail basis was not constant but was largely dependent on the number of nails aligned in the direction of the applied load. Investigations of the load carrying capacity of individual nail rows in a beam-to-beam connector showed considerable curvilinear variation of the load distribution throughout the nail group. In comparison with the commonly used bolted shear plate connectors, the nailed plate fastenings of equivalent strength were definitely superior in stiffness properties. (Author)
