Description
Summary:The EC-5 is the European Structural Standard which develops the design of timber structures. One of its principal aims is to give the engineers the rules to design the connections that are used in these kind of structures. Dowel-type fasteners are one of the most extended kind of joints that can appear, and they work in single or in double shear. The focus of this research is to study the design stresses in this last case. The results obtained using the rules included in the official standard will be compared with those arising from the finite element method. The interaction between stresses and other variables such as geometry, section and material will be presented, as well as an analysis of the results.
