Slip modulus formulas for timber-to -timber inc lined screw connections – Comparison with other simplified models

Keywords: timber joints, inclined screws, slip modulus, beam on elastic foundation, Eurocode 5. Joints made with dowel-type fasteners are among the most commonly used types of connections in timber engineering. In particular the self-tapping screws, thanks to the speed and ease of installation and the possibility of arranging them in various geometric configurations, are well suited for use in composite floors and beams.
