- Abstract
The static lateral load–slip behavior of a single-shear plywood-to-plywood single-staple connection (SPSC) was investigated experimentally. A mechanics-based approach was used to develop mechanical models for deriving estimation equations for critical lateral loads of SPSCs based on failure modes of staple legs and connection member materials developed during static lateral loading process. Experimental results indicated that the static lateral load–slip behavior of SPSCs can be characterized with three major stages. This experiment provided the evidence that the ultimate lateral load capacity of SPSCs was partially governed by staple direct withdrawal load capacity in main members. The proposed mechanical models were verified experimentally as a valid means for deriving estimation equations for critical lateral loads of SPSCs evaluated in this study.
