Shear Strength of Cross-Laminated Timber Connected with Self-Tapping Screws
Based on monotonic loading and step loading test methods, shear strength of five types of cross-laminated timber(CLT) connected with self-tapping screws(STS) were tested. Testing results showed that increasing length and diameter of STS could significantly improve CLT shear strength. CLT shear strength with an STS 45 degree inclination angle was 28.3% higher than that of the CLT with an STS 30 degree inclination angle. The connection assembly with double fastener inclination showed a better shear strength, which was 50.7% higher than that with half-lapped joints.
