Timber Structures - Connectors - Requirements
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14545 standard outlines the specifications for connectors used in load-bearing timber structures. The standard covers various types of connectors, including shear plates, split ring connectors, tooth plate connectors, punched metal plate fasteners, and nailing plates.
The standard focuses on the materials, geometry, strength, and durability of these connectors. It provides specific requirements that these connectors must meet in order to ensure their proper performance and reliability in timber structures.
By defining these requirements, the standard aims to guarantee the safe and efficient use of connectors in timber structures, ensuring that they can withstand the intended loads and maintain their structural integrity over time. Compliance with this standard is important for the construction industry to ensure the quality and safety of timber structures.
