Description
This ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 84, "Mechanical Connections in Wood Structures", gives state-of-the-art design and research information on mechanical fasteners used in wood connections. A connection consists of two or more members joined with one or more mechanical fasteners. Mechanical connections are defined as those where fasteners penetrate the wood. It is intended to help design professionals apply engineering judgment for those many connection details not covered by standard design codes. The mechanical fastener types included in this manual are: nails, spikes, and staples; lag screws and wood screws; bolts, drift bolts, and pins; metal connector plates; and timber connectors.
