The following beam splices are connected at mid-span using two steel-timber-steel bolted
joints located at the top and the bottom of the beam (and a hidden shear key at the centre
to transfer the shear force). Assuming a dry Radiata Pine timber with a thickness of 40mm,
what will be the required number of M16 bolts (based on current code method) to resist the
induced bending moment as a result of the 20kNm UDL and 30kN point loads under load
combination 1.2G+1.5Q?
