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 />
