SR10 The performance of bolted timber joints with departures from New Zealand Code requirements (1988)
Product Description
This report describes a series of tests carried out on bolted timber joints loaded in single shear and with departures in end and edge distances, bolt hole size and washer size from the requirements of NZS 3603:1981 Code of practice for timber design.
The aim was to quantify the effect of such departures on joint performance. Joints with 12 mm diameter galvanised mild steel bolts and constructed using Pinus radiata were tested in tension both parallel and perpendicular to the grain and at both the green and dry stage of conditioning.
