Lateral pressure reinforcement For beam support bearings, the verification of the compressive strength must be carried out at a right angle to the grain. If the required compressive strength of the support cannot be verified, the support can be strengthened by fixing ASSY ® full-thread screws perpendicular to the grain. Cf. Annex 2 of ETA 11/0190. General screw connections Würth’s general screw connections module is another solution to make timber construction design even more efficient. It is easy to understand and has an appealing user interface. Changing the data entered will immediately produce adjusted results. Depending on the screw selected, the software will calculate the required number of screws and their load factor. This way, the software quickly guides the user toward a cost-effective connection solution. Beam doubling Timber components with insufficient load-bearing capacity can be re inforced quickly and economically with an additional profile installed underneath or above the beam. Use cases include the reinforcement of wooden frames to convert them to a new use or beam-and-slab sys tems in new builds. Softwood or hardwood, glued laminated timber, as well as laminated veneer lumber can be used to strengthen timber beams. Notch Notches weaken beams considerably. To avoid failure due to trans verse tension, the connection can be strengthened with Würth ASSY ® full-thread screws. Cf. Annex 3 of ETA 11/0190. Using full-thread screws has the advantage that the screws can be installed quickly irrespective of the weather conditions and the installation location. The screws are invisible from the outside when counter-sunk. 2 WÜRTH TECHNICAL SOFTWARE II
