Tests and Analyses of Slotted-In Steel-Plate Connections in Composite Timber Shear Wall Panels

Figure 8

Typical mode of failure for the uplift perpendicular to grain tests, exemplified with specimen number 3: (a) final failure of the LVL at the screw head side (photo taken at a displacement of about 20 mm); (b) edge side showing multiple tensile and shear crack formations.
