The load factor in bolted timber joints under external tensile loads

Abstract These experiments sought to empirically determine how the initial tightening force influences the ratio of the axial bolt force to the tensile load (load factor) and the load required to separate the joint interface (interface separation load) in tensile bolted joints of glued laminated tim...
