A Study of Semi­ridged and Non­Linear Behaviour of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames

SYNOPSIS In this paper a study is made of the semi-rigid and non-linear behaviour of nailed knee joints in timber frames. A numerical analysis is applied to the non-linear deformation of the joints. The solution is derived using the stiffness method of analysis in which the rotation of each nailed joint is modelled by a series of piece-wise linear relationships
