M10.2 Reference Design Values<br />
Reference design values for mechanical connections<br />
are provided in various sources. The NDS contains reference<br />
design values for dowel-type connections such as<br />
nails, bolts, lag screws, wood screws, split rings, shear<br />
plates, drift bolts, drift pins, and timber rivets.<br />
Pre-engineered metal connectors are proprietary and<br />
reference design values are provided in code evaluation<br />
reports. More information on their use is provided in<br />
M10.5.<br />
Metal connector plates are proprietary connectors for<br />
trusses, and reference design values are provided in code<br />
evaluation reports.<br />
Staples and many pneumatic fasteners are proprietary,<br />
and reference design values are provided in code evaluation<br />
reports.<br />
M10.3 Design Adjustment Factors<br />
To generate connection design capacities, reference<br />
design values for connections are multiplied by adjustment<br />
factors per NDS 10.3. Applicable adjustment factors<br />
for connections are defined in NDS Table 10.3.1. Table<br />
M10.3-1 shows the applicability of adjustment factors<br />
for connections in a slightly different format for the designer.<br />
