5 TIMBER JOINTS AND FASTENERS<br />

<strong>44</strong> - 7 - 1 Pull-through Capacity in Plywood and OSB - J Munch-Andersen, J D<br />

Sørensen<br />

Presented by J Munch Andersen<br />

F Lam commented that the statement that density of the panel did <strong>no</strong>t influence pull<br />

through capacity was too strong. J Munch-Andersen responded that the analysis did <strong>no</strong>t<br />

find any correlation. F Lam stated since the analysis considered reported data from<br />

different sources with a range of connectors and panel material, the influence of density<br />

was masked. If one were to consider a single connector type with panels of density, one<br />

would find density influence.<br />

G Hochreiner and J Munch-Anderson discussed the issue that failure mode considerations<br />

may be important and modelling approach would be useful.<br />

H Blass commented that KIT has additional results and questioned whether the head<br />

diameter of 18 mm is valid.<br />

S. Aicher followed up on F Lam's point and commented that the range of applicability of<br />

plywood made from hardwood may <strong>no</strong>t be valid. J Munch Andersen responded that that<br />

the results would be lower bound.<br />

<strong>44</strong> - 7 - 2 Design Concept for CLT - Reinforced with Self-Tapping Screws - P Mestek,<br />

H Kreuzinger, S Winter<br />

Presented by P Mestek<br />

H Blass commented that considering the average k R90 behaviour for comparison between<br />

test and model would be okay. For final design considerations, would it be possible to<br />

consider characteristic values by shifting the whole line. P Mestek agreed.<br />

H Blass commented about the stiffness of screws in relationship to the rolling shear load<br />

path and asked whether screw withdrawal was observed. P Mestek responded mostly<br />

screw tension failures were observed and only one case of withdrawal was seen. H Blass<br />

asked how one would k<strong>no</strong>w that the screws were loaded to their capacity. P Mestek<br />

responded that this was a simplification for the practical design concept.<br />

F Lam commented reporting r 2 values with two data clouds as shown in Figures 6 and 7 is<br />

<strong>no</strong>t appropriate.<br />

U Kuhlmann received explanations about that the effective width was based on elastic<br />

theory.<br />

<strong>44</strong> - 7 - 3 Fatigue Behaviour of the Stud Connector Used for Timber-Concrete<br />

Composite Bridges – K Rautenstrauch, J Müller<br />

Presented by J Müller<br />

G Hochreiner questioned the choice of frequency as different frequencies would influence<br />

the results. He also asked about the shear area for design.<br />

H Müller responded that the choice of frequency was based on standard/typical procedures<br />

from literature as they are logistics limitations. Also there were discussions that<br />

compression perpendicular to grain stresses existed from the test set up and they wanted to<br />

simulate the possibility of such load in the structure. However they could <strong>no</strong>t say how<br />

much the level of such load would be.<br />

A Ceccotti commented that references from Finnish colleagues should be considered from<br />

structural engineering literature.<br />
