Application Software Development for Design of Mechanically Timber Connections

Abstract

Connection design is essential in structural design of the wooden house building. In a wood structural design, definitely needed the application for calculating of the number of connector in a connection. The aim of this research is to develop a software application that is intended to calculate the number of connector in a timber mechanically connection. The connector that can be used are nail, bolt, screw, or dowel. Detailing to place the connector also included in the application. Lateral resistant calculation in accordance with National Design Specification
