| Abstract | Several teats were made to determine the utilization of nailed-plywood gusset plate joints considering the effect of a number of variables on the lateral strength of three-member nailed joints and its application. Load per nail at distortion of 0.1 cm. is chosen as basis for comparison and establishing the recommended design load per nail for each combination of nail and plywood. Strength of the joint was affected by preboring, and by direction of load. Effects due to number of nails, nailing patterns, moisture content, central member thickness and the specific gravity have no significant effect. Tests of its application to the truss showed that nailedplywood gusset plate joints are affected adversely when subject¬ ed to bending. Close observations were made for the failure of the joints. Plywood is weak in bearing strength but very strong in shear and tensile strength. The stiffness of the joint is limited by the bearing strength of the plywood. |
