In this study, screwed connections were experimentally evaluated, checking the plausibility of Eurocode 5 for two selected wood species, Iroko (Milícia excelsa) and Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). Single shear screwed connections, considering self-tapping screws, were tested and the experimental campaign aimed at evaluating various mechanisms of resistance suggested by Eurocode 5 for this typology of connection, including axial withdrawal capacity of the screw, pull through parameter for screws, and local embedment of wood. The experimental
