Metal-plate-connected joint and lumber safety factors and their influence on wood truss safety factors

A model that simulates test of metal:-plate-connected wood trusses was developed. The truss test model built on previous research efforts to simulate ultimate failure of structural systems. For years, lumber failure models have used failure equations that were derived from design equations. This app...
