ROUND HEAD SCREW FOR PLATES

SCREW FOR PERFORATED PLATES

Cylindrical shoulder designed for fastening metal elements. Achieves an
interlocking effect with the hole in the plate, thus guaranteeing excellent
static performance.

STATICS
These can be calculated according to Eurocode 5 under thick steel-tim-
ber plate connections, even with thin metal elements.
Excellent shear strength values.

NEW-GENERATION WOODS
Tested and certified for use on a wide variety of engineered timbers such
as CLT, GL, LVL, OSB and Beech LVL.
The LBS5 version up to a length of 40 mm is approved completely with-
out pre-drilling hole on Beech LVL.

DUCTILITY
Excellent ductility behaviour as evidenced by SEISMIC-REV cyclic tests
according to EN 12512.

multiplied by a coefficient of 1,5.

EFFECTIVE NUMBER FOR SHEAR LOADS

The load-bearing capacity of a connection made with several screws, all of the same type and
Ref,V,k
size, may be lower than the sum of the load-bearing capacities of the individual connection
system.
For a row of n screws arranged parallel to the direction of the grain at a distance a1 , the charac-
teristic effective load-bearing capacity is equal to: a1 a1
Ref,V,k = nef RV,k
