CONTENTS
TIMBER BUILDINGS
HORIZONTAL LOADS

A FULL RANGE OF JOINTS FOR WALLS AND BUILDINGS CAN PROVIDE POSSIBLE FAILURE
THE IDEAL SOLUTION TO ANY TYPE OF HORIZONTAL ACTION AND
DESIGN REQUIREMENT.
MODES

During the design phase the building response to both vertical and hori-
zontal actions, such as wind or earthquake, must be considered. Hori-
zontal actions can be schematized as loads acting at the floor level.

In order to guarantee an adequate seismic performance of the timber

building, regarding all the possible failure modes, it is fundamental to
provide a correct design for all the connection systems.

LOAD PATTERN

Horizontal loads acting at the floor level introduce shear and tension
forces on the structural elements of the building; these forces must be
absorbed by an effective connection system, correctly dimensioned and
installed.

In order to realize an adequate structural design, it is important for

the designer to know the real experimental behavior both in terms of
stiffness (to evaluate the deformation of the structure) and ductility (to
choose correctly the structural factor q).

TENSION ANGLE-BRACKETS
These angle brackets shall be used where punctual tensile loads are, 01. Wall - Floor
typically in correspondence with corners, edges and holes, both at the 02. Wall - Foundation
ground and interstorey level.

SHEAR ANGLE-BRACKETS
Shear angle brackets shall be distributed along the wall edge in order to 03. Wall - Floor / Wall - Wall
transfer the shear forces both in timber-to-timber and timber-to-con- 04. Wall - Foundation
crete connections.

PERFORATED PLATES
Metallic perforated plates allow to transfer tensile and shear loads both 05. Wall - Foundation (tension)
in timber-to-timber and timber-to-concrete connections, depending on 06. Wall - Wall (tension)
the typology utilized. 07. Wall - Foundation (shear)

The coefficients γm and kmod should be taken according to the current
regulations used for the calculation. • Structural elements in timber, to which the connection devices are
