Stresses in, and strength of, single-and double-bolted mechanical joints in wood members are analyzed experimentally and numerically.The analyses account for the nonlinear geometric and stressstrain responses and the thicknesses of the members.Stresses are obtained using finite elements, strain gages, and moirt techniques.Failure is predicted from assumed strength criteria.Stresses and strength are influenced by end-distance, bolt-spacing, edge-distance, bolt-clearance, and load distribution between bolts of a multiple fastener.Predicted initiation of failure agrees with visible and audible damage initiation in full-scale components.These occur at LO to 25% of ultimate structural strength.
