Does Technical Report 12 - General Dowel Equations for Calculating Lateral Connection Values assume the connector does not deform in the gap?


Yes, the assumption is that the connector will develop a hinge in the body of either the main member or side member(s), not in the gap.


The following FAQ is based on the presentation of DES330 – Design of Connections for Wood Members using the NDS and TR12.

  • Do the yield mode equations still apply if one of the members being connected is a material other than wood?

  • Which member is the main member in a double-shear connection?

  • Which member is the main member in a single-shear connection?

  • Where can I find AWC’s Connection Calculator?

  • Does Technical Report 12 - General Dowel Equations for Calculating Lateral Connection Values assume the connector does not deform in the gap?

  • Where can I find information about corrosion of fasteners?

  • Where can I find information for designing timber rivet connections?

  • Where can I find design information for staples and/or pneumatic nails?

  • Where can I find information about designing anchor bolts per ACI 318 Appendix D and the NDS?

  • Where can I find information on wood dowel (wood peg) design values?
