Connections

This tool designs timber bolt joint connections, assessing the capacity of bolt joints that connect two timber members under applied shear or tension forces. All calculations are performed according to AS 1720.1-2010.

This technical report checks each bolt in a bolt group for in-plane and out-of-plane loads using the Instantaneous Centre of Rotation (ICR) concept. It then checks the shear force, pull-out force, and combined action. All calculations are carried out based on Australian Standard AS4100:2020.

This tool designs timber nail joint connections by considering the timber species and the nail groups' geometry. It assesses the capacity of nail joints that connect two or three timber members, taking into account the applied axial or shear forces and moments. All calculations are conducted in accordance with AS 1720.1-2010.

This tool designs timber screw joint connections by checking the timber species and screw group geometry. It checks the capacity of screw joints connecting two or three timber members, subject to applied axial or shear forces and moments. Calculations are based on the Australian standard AS 1720.1-2010.

Calculate the required thickness and plan dimensions of a base plate for a steel I-section column in axial compression, according to Eurocode 3.
