New Design Concepts for Structural Timber Connections
Abstract Wood is an anisotropic and brittle material which makes it difficult to connect. Whereas traditional joints in carpentry suffer from reduced sections that weaken the joint significantly, the structural performance of engineered connections — mostly done with dowel type fasteners (DTF) — is limited by weak strength in shear and perpendicular to grain. In order to improve the load bearing behaviour, a thorough understanding of the local (single DTF) and global (connecting area) failure mechanisms are required as a prerequisite.
