The proposed joint is a timber single-layer lattice shell joint designed to effectively absorb torsion specific to single-layer shells. It can accommodate various shapes by adjusting the plate bending process and the composition of its members. To protect the timber and prevent brittle fracture, the steel members are designed to yield first. The joints underwent thorough analysis to assess their stiffness and strength capacities, with their reliability validated through loading tests. Furthermore, demonstration tests were carried out to verify both constructability and deformability.
