Capacities of Dowel-Type Fastener Joints in Australian Pine
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 17, Issue 6
Abstract
An experimental study is reported aimed at determining stiffness and strength of laterally loaded dowel-type fastener joints in Australian grown pine. Emphasis is on joints in Radiata pine lumber or glued-laminated (glulam) timber, and Slash pine lumber. Information was collected in a manner that makes it useful for load and resistance factor design. It was found that characteristic “one-fastener” design capacities of joints are most reliably based on the yield load rather than the ultimate load, and that for practical purposes behaviors of joints in Radiata pine and Slash pine can be regarded as identical.
