Notes: The tabulated values are the minimum of the yielding resistance, row shear, group tear-out and net tension resistances of the wood member, and are applicable to tension members. For compression members, the values are conservative when the governing failure mode is indicated as group tear-out or net tension since the resistance is based on yielding and row shear only. The governing failure mode for each connection configuration is denoted either by lowercase letter (a)-(g), indicating the specific yielding failure mode as per O86 Clause 12.4.4.3.2, or by uppercase letter (R), (G) or (T), indicating failure due to row shear, group tear-out or net tension in the main member. The minimum loaded end distance, a_L, is the maximum of 50 mm and 5 times the fastener diameter (O86 Clause 12.4.3.1). For the calculation of group tear-out and net tension resistances, the fastener hole diameter is assumed to be 2 mm larger than the fastener diameter. The connection resistance P'_r is required to be adjusted to end-use conditions using modification factors depending on the governing failure mode as follows: P_r = P'_r for yielding failure mode (a), P_r = P'_r (K_D K_SF K_T) for yielding failure mode (b), P_r = P'_r (K_Dy K_SF K_T) for yielding failure mode (d), (e), (f) or (g), P_r = P'_r (K_D K_Sv K_T) for row shear, P_r = P'_r (K_D K_St K_T) for group tear-out or net tension. Modification factors are provided in Section 7.4 of the Wood Design Manual 2020. For untreated wood members under standard-term loading and dry service conditions, the modification factors are 1.0. For D.Fir-L glulam, the tabulated values are valid for 24f-E, 24f-EX, 20f-E, 20f-EX or 16c-E grade. For Spruce-Pine glulam, the tabulated values are valid for 20f-E, 20f-EX or 12c-E grade. Tabulated values are based on ASTM A307 grade steel bolts or dowels, and ASTM A36/36M grade steel plate. The resistance of steel plate needs to be checked separately. A single steel splice plate is not permitted to be used for multiple rows of bolts or dowels when the distance between the two outer rows exceeds 125 mm. N/A = not applicable.	.
