Bearing Strength of Wood Under Embedment Loading of Fasteners.
Abstract
In designing an anchorage fastener subject to tensile load, three factors are of importance: (1) Withdrawal resistance of the fastener from the foundation, (2) tensile strength of the fastener, and (3) embedment of the fastener head into the sill or other framing member. Because the bearing resistance of wood to embedment loading of a fastener into a framing member has not been known, the design for anchoring a structure could not be complete. In this study, the data are determined for the bearing resistance of wood to embedment loading. (Author)
