Conclusions<br />

For calculating the load carrying capacity of edge joints in CLT the parameters<br />

embedment strength and withdrawal capacity were examined. On<br />

the basis of statistical analysis of a multitude of test results it was possible<br />

to develop functions for predicted values of these parameters. Proposals<br />

for characteristic values are also given. The validity of the presented equations<br />

is limited to CLT with a characteristic density of 400 kg/m3 made of<br />

spruce. In tests with connections the required minimum edge and end distances<br />

and spacings of fasteners were determined. In addition the tests verify<br />

the calculation of the load carrying capacities. To determine the longterm<br />

behaviour of edge joints with self-tapping screws in CLT tests are<br />

performed.<br />

Load Carrying Capacity of Timber-Wood Fiber Insulation Board -<br />

Joints with Dowel Type Fasteners<br />

Introduction<br />

So far wood fibre insulation boards (WFIB) are used as thermal and acoustic<br />

insulation in timber constructions. As wood-based panels, WFIB are<br />

suited for the transfer of loads caused by wind and earthquakes in timber<br />

frame constructions. Until present this task has been undertaken by plywood,<br />

particle boards and OSB. This new field of application of WFIB has<br />

been analysed in a research project at the Universität Karlsruhe.<br />

In this paper a proposal is given to calculate the load-carrying capacity<br />

of timber-WFIB-joints with dowel type fasteners. For this purpose the<br />

load-carrying capacity of joints in timber and WFIB may be determined<br />

according to Johansen’s yield theory and an extension of this theory. Tests<br />

were carried out to estimate the embedding strength of nails in WFIB and<br />

the crown pull-through resistance of staples in WFIB. The test results verified<br />

the calculation model and the stiffness properties of timber-WFIBjoints<br />

were evaluated.<br />

Conclusions<br />

The embedding strength of nails in WFIB was tested. As result of a multiple<br />

regression analysis, the embedding strength may be calculated considering<br />

the density of the WFIB and the diameter of the fastener. In further<br />

tests, the pull-through resistance of staples in WFIB was examined. The<br />

pull-through resistance depends on the thickness and the density of the<br />

WFIB. To consider the influence of a counter batten in the failure modes<br />

according to Johansen’s yield theory, the equations for two failure modes<br />

were extended. The results of the previous tests were used to calculate<br />

predictive values of the load-carrying capacity of timber-<br />

WFIB-joints tested in further tests. The stiffness of timber-WFIB-joints<br />

may be calculated depending on the densities of the joint members, the<br />

thickness of the WFIB and the diameter of the fastener. With these results<br />

the load-carrying and displacement characteristics of timber-WFIB-joints<br />

may be evaluated and further be used for the calculation of shear walls<br />

with WFIB sheathing.<br />
