timber connector

Isaac Kremer/ July 3, 2024/ / 0 comments

A metal ring, plate, or grid for transferring shear between the faces of two timber members, used with a single bolt that serves to restrain and clamp the assembly together. Timber connectors are more efficient than bolts or lag screws used alone since they enlarge the area of wood over which a load is distributed. (Ching, 1995)
