Bearing Capacity of a Scarf Joint

Abstract:

The bearing capacity of a scarf joint depends on the length of the joint and the type of connection. It is possible to use circular bolts or squared dowels. Both connection tools used in the repairs of historic timber structures are made of wood according to the requirements of the heritage authority.
