Closure to 'Strength of Sawn Lumber and Wood Composite Dowel Connections Loaded Perpendicular to Grain. Ⅰ: NDS Design Equations' by Daniel P. Hindman, David E. Finkenbinder, Joseph R. Loferski, and Philip Line

摘要

The writer wishes to thank Dr. van der Put for his discussion of the original article. The purpose of the original article was to experimentally measure the strength of bolted connections loaded perpendicular to grain in various wood and wood composite materials and to validate currently available models to predict the strength of these connections.
