In timber engineering, the connection between structural members has a significant influence on the load-bearing capacity and serviceability of the structure. Dowel-type metal fasteners subjected to shear, such as dowels and fitted bolts in tensile splices, can be designed using this module.
Register now! After registration, you can use Module T02 for the design of tensile splices free of charge for 10 days. During this period, all functions are available without restriction. You can perform calculations, save projects and generate reports.
Module T02 enables the design of single-piece tensile splices with internal or external steel plate straps. Depending on the connection configuration, dowels, fitted bolts, or a combination of dowels and fitted bolts can be used.
The following connection types are available:
The following verifications are performed:
To minimise the required input, automatic connection optimisation is available. Only the connection type, cross-sectional dimensions and loading need to be entered. The program automatically determines the steel plate thickness, the number and diameter of the fasteners, as well as their spacing and edge distances. These values can be adjusted manually if required.
