Abstract

Tests on double-shear timber joints with slotted-in steel plates were undertaken. The used species were spruce, beech and Ekki with one, three and five dowels in a row. Two different steel qualities were used, common mild steel and high strength steel dowels with a proof strength of 1275MPa at 0.2% extension. The failure modes of the connections could be accurately predicted with the Johansen equations. The ductility decreased with increasing number of fasteners and also with increasing diameter. The observed effective number of fasteners is lower for the joints with high strength steel dowels.
