JOINING OF WOODEN STRUCTURES USING INSERT THREADE STEEL WASHERS

Introduction. Wood, being an affordable and renewable material characterized by high strength characteristics, is used in construction for both residential non-residential buildings, as well various structures. The durability of buildings based on wooden structures largely depend the reliability joints between elements. At present, types nodal all exhibit certain advantages disadvantages, calling improvement development new having manufacturability. Aim. In this work, behavior improved joint using insert steel washers was investigated, along with their manufacturing technology methodology studying. Materials methods. investigation involves a series samples conducting experiment order to determine load failure ultimate strain. Results. method experimental procedure were developed; values deformation determined experimentally, curves plotted. It revealed that threaded connection washer rod leads decrease bearing capacity due thrust occurring adhesive line. addition, it established parameters affect behavior. Conclusion. Experimental studies showed fails increase stiffness early line separation from element. However, additional accept can solve problem. necessary conduct research assess feasibility such connection.
