title = "Lateral Bearing Capacity of Single Connectors in Parallel Loaded Battens used for Truss Bracing",
abstract = "In order to analyse the stiffness and the strength of joints used for battens in bracing of trusses 70 tests have been made. The joint was made by a single nail or screw located perpendicular to or at an angle to the grain direction. The single fastener joints did not fulfil the requirements for edge distances and the number of nails according to the standard. Three different nails and one screw were tested in 7 different series. The fasteners, test series and the test arrangement are presented. The failure loads and the load-displacements curves are given and the results are compared to the standard. The expressions for the strength and the stiffness given in the standard can be used for the unspliced joints.",
