A STRENGTH CALCULATION METHOD OF SINGLE BOLTED TIMBER JOINT FOR END MEMBER JOINT LOADED PERPENDICULAR TO THE GRAIN

Abstract

We, in this article, propose a manual strength calculation method of single bolted timber joint for end member joint loaded perpendicular to the grain. The strength calculation method takes into account the edge distance, the end distance, and the slenderness ratio as the parameters. The validity of the proposed calculation method was confirmed by the experimental results, edge distance of 1d · 2d · 4d · 6d · 7d, end distance of 1d · 2.5d · 4d · 7d · 10d, slenderness ratio of 3.75d · 7.5d · 10d.
