Because of the lines of actions of the (3) forces are not concurrent the connection is nowtreated as two separate connections. The bending shear is then determined for eachjoint through the application of the classic bending shear equation:f s = VQ / ItThis results in the A sj term containing the 2/3rds of shear area, b x d s .To accommodate this type of situation AS 1720.1-1997 recommends the secondary stressesdue to bending moment be checked to ensure no member or fastener is overstressed.Further, the design capacity in transverse shear at an eccentric joint (ΦV sj ) satisfiesEquations 13.18 <strong>and</strong> 13.19.where:<strong>and</strong>:ΦV sjΦV sj≥ V* sj= Φk 1 k 4 k 6 f” sj A sjV* = design action on the joint due to the factoredsjapplied loads, i.e. transverse shear at jointΦ = capacity factork 1 = duration of load factork4= partial seasoning factork6f' sj= temperature effects factor=characteristic strength in shear at joint detailsappropriate to species strength groupA sj = transverse shear plane area at joint;= 2.b.ds/3 where b is thickness of the member. SeeFIGURE 13.10. for d s .(13.18)(13.19)WashersAS 1720.1-1997 states all timber-to-timber bolted structural joints shall be fitted with awasher each end.The function of the washers in a bolted structural connection is two-fold:• having a larger diameter than the head <strong>and</strong> nut of the bolt, they distribute an axialforce in the bolt over a larger area;• provided the bolt is kept tight to combat shrinkage the washer can minimise waterpenetrating into the bolt hole. This reduces the possibility of rust of the bolt <strong>and</strong>rotting of the timber.Serviceability Requirements for Type 1 Bolted Joints (Cl.C3.3)AS 1720.1-1997 provides relationships to determine connection deformations of solid timberjoints fabricated with bolts as the connectors. The equations provide estimates ofdisplacements if no test data for the connection response is available.The equations give reasonable results for the deflection of Type 1 joints under serviceabilityloadings. Joints become less stiff after a number of load cycles resulting in thedeformation predictions become less accurate.Equations 13.20 <strong>and</strong> 13.21 give the displacement ∆, taking into account grain direction.Δ = Δi+jj1433Q *Qkfor loads parallel to grain (13.20)208
