FIGURE 13.12: Edge, end <strong>and</strong> bolt spacings13.18 <strong>Design</strong> of Coach Screwed Connections (Cl.4.5.2)The coach screw has the hexagon head of a bolt (as do some wood screws) but the shank of a woodscrew as shown in FIGURE 13.13. The pitch of the thread of the coach screw is much coarser than that fora bolt.Although the coach screw has a strong resemblance to a screw, for design purposes, it is categorisedwith bolts.13.19 <strong>Design</strong> of Type 1 Coach Screw ConnectionsCharacteristic capacities for coach screws loaded laterally in shear in side grain can assume the valuesgiven for bolts (C1.4.4.2) provided:• coach screw diameter is that of its shank not the core diameter (bottom of thread). In criticalloading cases it may be wise to take the core diameter for determination of characteristiccapacities;• coach screw is fitted with a washer;• for a two-member joint the thinner member must have a thickness (t t ):where:• hole for shank:ttD s≥ 3Ds= shank diameter (mm);= (D s +1mm) or (D s +0.1D s ) whichever is lesser;hole for threaded section:depth of hole:≤ core diameter;≥ length of screw• depth of coach screw penetration(t p ) into the second member for various speciesgroups is given in FIGURE 13.13.213
