Abstract
Nail jointed timber designs, besides being simpler in execution and economical in cost have potentialities in promoting the utilization of short length and small dimensioned stocks of timber. In this paper the strength properties of structural joints made with 5 mm dia, diamond pointed/plain shanked wire nails have been described for Eucalyptus sp.-a fast growing species. Statistical analysis and the reported values are of four different loading patterns simulated to web and chord connections for both the temporary and permanent conditions in timber structures.
