The load carrying capacity of timber connections is whether calculated according to existing models, e.g. the so-called Johansen model for connections with dowel-type fasteners, or determined by testing, e.g. connections with plate connectors. However, when loaded perpendicular to the grain and / or in shear, cracking of the timber may limit the load carrying capacity, a failure mode with which existing models do not deal. Within CIB-W18, the last five years several papers on this subject were presented. Some of the papers discuss a possible theoretical approach based on fracture mechanical considerations; most of the papers discuss test results. At the Universities of Delft and Eindhoven in the Netherlands a comprehensive research recently...
