PERFORMANCE OF NAILED CLEATS IN BLOCKING AND BRACING APPLICATIONS.
Abstract
Design criteria were developed for various combinations of nails, cleats and floorboards for one species of wood in a simulated railcar switching environment. The study establishes the resistance of nailed cleats to rapidly applied lateral forces comparable to published levels of shock to which railcars are subjected in switching. (Author)
