Abstract:Original scientific paper This paper demonstrates the results of experimental determination of load bearing capacity of structural timber member connections realized by WOLF and LKVC metal connector plates. Considering the complexity of the connections realized by these modern mechanical fasteners, this paper deals only with plate anchorage capacity (stress in the metal-wood contact). The aim of the conducted experimental study was to determine the metal connector plate anchorage capacity in accordance with th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
