TIMBER JOINT DESIGN-3 Contents Introduction Bolts, coach screws and timber connectors (split- Introduction rings and shear-plates) all have higher capacities than nails and screws and are therefore better suited to applications where a large load is imposed Fastener Specification and Application and the space available to accommodate fasteners is limited. Commonly, these are used in Bolts and Coach Screws conjunction with proprietary and custom designed Split-Rings metal connectors but they are also used in direct Shear-Plates load transfer from one piece of timber to another where they provide a basis for the design of elegant and economic connections. Typical applications Joint Design include beam to column, beam to beam, truss, pole Lateral Loads frame, marine structure and bridge connections as well as column, beam and truss supports.
