4.7 JOINTS IN TIMBER PANELS<br />
39-7-5 T Uibel, H J Blass<br />
Load-carrying capacity of joints with dowel type fasteners in solid<br />
wood panels<br />
Introduction<br />
Solid wood panels with cross layers have been used more and more frequently<br />
in timber engineering in recent years. Their use in constructions<br />
requires their connection with each other and with other components of the<br />
construction. To that purpose dowel-type fasteners can be used. It is possible<br />
to position the fasteners perpendicular to the plane of the panels or in<br />
their narrow sides. In this paper only the first possibility will be discussed.<br />
The load carrying capacity for dowel-type fasteners is usually calculated<br />
according to Johansen's yield theory. Embedding strength as well as the<br />
yield moment of the fasteners are important parameters in this calculation.<br />
Withdrawal strength is needed to calculate the load carrying capacity of<br />
axially loaded screws or nails. The aim of a current research project at the<br />
University of Karlsruhe is to develop a proposal for calculating the load<br />
carrying capacity of joints with dowel type fasteners in solid wood panels.<br />

Edge joints with dowel type fasteners in cross laminated timber<br />
Introduction<br />
During the 39h meeting of <strong>CIB</strong>-<strong>W18</strong> the authors presented proposals for<br />
the calculation of the load carrying capacity of joints with dowel type fasteners<br />
positioned perpendicular to the plane of cross laminated timber<br />
(CLT). In continuation of the research project the load carrying capacity of<br />
edge joints with dowels and screws in CLT was examined. To calculate<br />
the load carrying capacity of dowel-type fasteners according to Johansen's<br />
yield theory, the yield moment of the fasteners and the embedding strength<br />
are needed. The withdrawal strength is necessary to calculate the load carrying<br />
capacity of axially loaded screws. In addition, the withdrawal<br />
strength is important for estimating the rope effect of laterally loaded connections.<br />
In the narrow sides of CLT the fasteners can be positioned parallel<br />
to the grain direction. The embedment strength and the withdrawal<br />
strength are also influenced by gaps and grooves.<br />
