Timber joints and stainless steel fasteners
Timber joints and stainless steel fasteners
(OP)
Is there any standars or research of stainless steel fasteners (nail, screws or bolts)or connectors in mechanical timber joints?
I am also interested in determination of yield moment of dowel type fasteners (nails) made by stainless steel.
What kind of test metods and is there any results.
These values are needed for design joints by yield model (Johansen, Larsen)

andrew in the uk here.
i don't know what codes are used in the US but you may like to get a hold of our british standard BS5268 and the new eurocode 5 which give detailed guidance on the dowels in timber.
if you contact me directly i'll put you in touch from where you can obtain them directly.
