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 />
