13.11 <strong>Design</strong> of Type 2 Screwed ConnectionsAs mentioned previously Type 2 screwed connections differ from nailed connections in onemajor aspect, i.e.:• Nails depend on friction between the shank <strong>and</strong> the wood fibres to resist withdrawal;• Screws depend upon a mechanical interlocking of wood fibre between threads thusenhancing the withdrawal capabilities of the screw over the nail.Equation 13.10 gives the design capacity (ΦN j ) for a Type 2 joint containing (n) screws.For the strength limit state to be satisfied:where ΦNjis the lesser of:ΦN j ≥ N* (13.10)ΦNj = Φk 13 . p.nQk (13.11)ORΦN j = n(ΦN ts ) (13.12)where:ΦN j= joint capacity of Type 2 screwed connection, i.e.along connector axis.<strong>and</strong>:N* = design action on a Type 2 nailed connection, alongconnector axis. due to factored loads applied to thejoints;Φk 13 pNQkΦN ts= capacity factor.= 1.0 for withdrawal from side grain;= 0.6 for withdrawal from end grain;= depth of screw penetration (mm) into primarymember.= total number of screws in joint.= characteristic screw capacity in withdrawal given inTables 4.6(A) <strong>and</strong> 4.6(B).strength group.= design tensile capacity of screw as per screwmanufacturers specificationNOTE:k 1 does not apply to screws subject to withdrawal<strong>Design</strong> of Screwed Moment JointsScrewed moment connections are not common, the nailed option being preferred because of their lowerinstallation cost, <strong>and</strong> similar lateral load capabilities.In the event a screwed joint provides the desired solution to the connection problem the procedure presentedin Error!
