Abstract

It is well-known that the strength properties of wood connections depend on the density of the wood members, the diameter of the fasteners, the number of fasteners, and the arrangement of the fasteners, etc. In this study, the connection with inserted steel plates and drift pins was made in different configurations. The specimens were Larch and Sugi glulam connections. The specimens were loaded in tension, and the yield loads of the connections were obtained. The values obtained from the tests were compared with the predicted values. Good agreement between the yield loads obtained from the tension failure tests and the predicted yield loads were shown. It was shown that the density of the wood member barely affected the strength properties of the connections. The strength decreases of the Sugi glulam connections by the group effect were less than those of the Larch glulam connections.
