WOOD CONNECTORS One of the Eurocode standards defining the parameters of construction joints is the maintenance of the minimum spacing and distances between fasteners (e.g. nails). As the holes in our connectors are often more densely spaced than the spacing specified in the standard, the maximum number of nails to be used in the joint may be smaller than the number of holes in the connector. This leaves the users some freedom in terms of installation. The tables in the catalog contain the most advantageous nailing schemes, thanks to which the highest loading capacity of the connection can be obtained. In the case of joist hangers, the side nails (securing the secondary beam to the hanger) do not have a bearing function in the joint. Their main task is to evenly distribute the load over the entire height of the secondary beam section. The arrangement of side nails should be used in full or staggered arrangement, depending on the thickness of the secondary beam. Full nailing is optimal for beams with a thickness greater than 60 mm. On the other hand, side nailing for beams with a thickness of ≤ 60 mm for beams with a thickness less than or equal to 60 mm, alternate nailing should be used. In accordance with the recommendations of EAD 130186-00-0603, the tests performed should reflect the behavior of the joint in practical application. Due to the large variety of product types, we have developed (based on EAD) various load patterns simulating the behavior of a given joint in practice. For the preparation of the test load diagrams, we chose connections that allow the verification of the behavior of the connectors in the optimal and most representative application of a given product. The most common connection using joist hangers is the perpendicular connection of two wooden beams. In this catalog, we present technical parameters based on the results obtained from testing this type of connection.
