This study proposed a concept on ductility assurance design of joints for a glued laminated timber frame using the upper 5% limit of tensile bolt unit stress when tensile bolt strain is 5%. In addition, the suitability of this concept for ductility assurance design of joints was verified by conducting a structural experiment on three tensile bolt type joints.
