Question:
Transcribed Image Text:
(a) The spliced connection shown in the figure below, is under the effect of an axial tension load (N* = 20 kN) originating from transient wind load actions only and acting along the grains of the timber member. The connection utilises two steel plates to transfer the load from one piece of timber to the other via 2-M12 bolts in double shear. The timber member is 240X45 F17 seasoned hardwood sourced from Mountain Ash species. Assuming that the steel plates are sufficiently thick and that timber governs the connection capacity, check the adequacy of the connection to transfer the applied load. Assume that the connection is in a primary roof truss in a Melbourne warehouse building. (b) If the bolted connection in part (a) was replaced with a nailed connection with plywood gusset plates replacing the steel splice plates, then how many 3.15mm diameter plain shank steel nails one would need to adequately support the applied load? In your answer you should check the minimum requirements for end distance, edge distance, spacing along and across the grain. 45 mm 4 Bolts in double shear in single 2 bolts on either side of the splice Steel plate Steel plate (a) The spliced connection shown in the figure below, is under the effect of an axial tension load (N* = 20 kN) originating from transient wind load actions only and acting along the grains of the timber member.

Expert Answer:
Answer rating: 100% (QA)
To check the adequacy of the connection in part a we need to calculate the capacity of the timber member and compare it to the applied load a Calculat... View the full answer
