Connection
The connection is designed using bolt and plywood plate. The diameter of
bolt used is 2 mm with Fyb = 320 MPa. The thickness of the plywood plate is 3
mm. The following is shown the number of bolt needed.

Connection Calculation
a) Data:
Zu = 270,35 N
D (Diameter of bolt) = 2 mm
l (Length of bolt) = 30 mm
tm = 10 mm
ts = 10 mm
Fyb (Yield strength ) = 320 Mpa

b) Applicabilityof Adjustment Factors:

CM (Wet service factor) =1 (AWC-NDS2015)
Ct (Temperature factor) =1 (AWC-NDS2015)
CG (Group action factor) =1 (AWC-NDS2015)
Cd (Penetration depth factor) =1 (AWC-NDS2015)
Ceg (End grain factor) = 0,67 (AWC-NDS2015)
Ctn (Toe-nail factor) =1 (AWC-NDS2015)
Kf (Format conversion factor) = 3.32 (AWC-NDS2015 Table 2.3.5)
Φz (Resistance factor) = 0.65 (AWC-NDS2015)
λ (Time effect factor) = 0.8 (AWC-NDS2015 App N.3.3)

c) Steps of Calculation
1. Side bearing strength (Fes)
FeII = 70 x G
= 70 x 0.28
= 19.6 MPa

From the calculation of lateral design values, so we use Z = 97.77 N

 7. Adjusted lateral design values (Z’)
Z’ = Z x Cm x Ct x Cg x C∆x Ceg x Фz x Kf x λ
Z’ = 97.77 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 0.65 x 0.8 x 3.32
Z’ = 168.79 N
8. Number of bolt
Zu ≤ n x Z’
270.35 N ≤ n x 168.79
3.19 ≤ n
So, Number of bolt is 3

Diameter of bolt (D) = 2 mm
Length of fastener in wood member (l) = 5 mm
