APPLICATIONS
RANGE
The range of UV-T concealed connectors for wood-wood joints consists of 5 items, to be selected based on the load acting on the joint and the
dimensions of the secondary beam. Every connector offers different resistance, based on the length of the screws used.
The smallest connector can be used for beams with minimum dimensions of 45 mm x 100 mm. The largest connector offers characteristic
resistance exceeding 60 kN.

• Design values can be obtained from characteristic values as follows: the secondary beam side, in the two upper openings and two lower openings.
• Lateral F4 loads are assumed to act at a distance of e = H / 2 from the centre of
the connector. For different values of “e”, the resistance values can be calculated
in accordance with ETA.
• Coefficients γm and kmod must be taken according to the current Standard. • It is assumed that the main beam is impeded from rotating. In the case the
• For the calculations, a timber density ρk = 350 kg/m3 has been considered. UV connector is installed on only one side of the beam, an eccentric moment,
• Dimensioning and verification of the timber elements must be carried out
separately.
Mv = Fd (BH / 2 14 mm) must be considered. The same also applies in the case
of connections on both sides of the main beam when the difference between
• In case of combine loading the following expression shall be satisfied: acting forces is > 20%.

• Design values can be obtained from characteristic values as follows: In this case, installation parameters must be reviewed (wooden secondary
beam).
(2) The minimum dimensions of the wood elements vary based on changes in the
direction of the load and must be verified on a case by case basis. The table
shows minimum dimensions to guide the designer when selecting the
connector.
The coefficients γm and kmod should be taken according to the current
regulations used for the calculation.
The coefficients γcls are provided in the table.
• During the calculation phase a timber density ρk = 350 kg/m3 and a concrete
grade C 25/30 have been considered.
• Dimensioning and verification of timber elements must be carried out
separately.
• Resistance values are valid for the calculation examples defined in the table.
When edge conditions are different (e.g. minimum distances from the edges),
they must be verified by the designer.
