Connection Design Examples Using the 2015 NDS (DES345) Lori Koch, P.E. Manager, Educational Outreach American Wood Council Adam Robertson, M.A.Sc., P.Eng. Manager, Codes and Standards Canadian Wood Council

COURSE DESCRIPTION With the variety of fasteners available for wood construction, this presentation will provide a basic understanding of connections that includes design examples based on the 2015 National Design Specification (NDS ) for Wood Construction. Solutions for nailed, screwed, and bolted connections will be presented, along with specific information on calculating shear capacity as well as withdrawal capacity. Multiple approaches to calculating capacity will be discussed, including tabulated references, calculation-based techniques, and computer program solutions (including WoodWorks Connections software). Material properties for fasteners as well as connected materials including wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and wood-to-concrete will be discussed.
