10.1 General Data

The Slant screws fastener is currently the only available timber-to-timber joint category.

The following joint types are available:

Table 10.1 Joint types

	Main member only	Fastening of a member to an existing component (or any number of members) at any angle
	Front to side	Connection of a diagonal member to a continuous beam (Main member and Continuous member)
	Front to front	Free definition of a node with a connected member

This section is only accessible for the Front to front joint type. With an inclined secondary member, the connection can be symmetrical or asymmetrical (cf. Figure 9.6).

Table 10.2 Connection options for main member

	Symmetrical connection at an angle of 45°
	Main member cut perpendicularly to member axis
	Secondary member cut perpendicularly to member axis

The design-relevant coefficients are specified according to the standard and the National Annex (see Figure 2.19).

If you want to apply user-defined factors for the designs, you have to create a new National Annex first by clicking the button. Afterwards, the coefficients can be customized in the National Annex Settings dialog box (cf. Figure 9.10).

According to [2] 8.7.2(3), the minimum embedment depth of the threaded part on the side of the screw head should be six times the screw diameter d. If necessary, the factor for determining the minimum penetration t_pen,min can be adjusted in this section.
