Scientific studies on nailed joints have opened up new vistas for the wise and economic use of shorter lengths of planks/scantlings of secondary species in timber structures. As a pre-requisite to design, the lateral resistance to which nails are subjected by wood in structures has to be determined through laboratory tests. In this paper permissible nail-bearing strength in atleast 39 species for varied possible parameters are given along with their scope and application limitations.

Abstract


Scientific studies on nailed joints have opened up new vistas for the wise and economic use of shorter lengths of planks/scantlings of secondary species in timber structures. As a pre-requisite to design, the lateral resistance to which nails are subjected by wood in structures has to be determined through laboratory tests. In this paper permissible nail-bearing strength in atleast 39 species for varied possible parameters are given along with their scope and application limitations.
