Review on research progress of metal-plate-connected wood joints

The problem of metal-plate-connected wood joints is an important aspect structure design and research. Metal-plate-connection (MPC), tenon-mortise connection pin are the three most common forms in timber structures. mechanical properties safety joint connections structures great value to evaluate performance building components anisotropic its susceptible external factors (e.g., moisture content, density, temperature load condition). Based on summarizing these influences joints, this paper further explores simulation model analysis software for predicting it also involves aspects conservatory creep. Finally, new development MPCs put forward. • Reviews literature about MPC analyze static, dynamic performance, aging corrosion from small (single joint) large (wood truss). Explores feasibility combination between modern engineered material. Proposed some constructive suggestions future
