Panels Connect with Screws Across Butt Joint

Adjacent wall panels are butted together and fastened with fully-threaded diagonal screws.

Purpose: Transfer of in-plane shear along the panel-to-panel joint.

Design Notes

  • Capacity of connection is controlled by shear capacity of dowel-type fasteners.
  • Jig can be used for proper installation of diagonal screws.
  • Pilot holes can be drilled to aid in screw installation.
  • Ensure that screws do not extend beyond exposed panel surface.
  • Fire rating is Level II for CLT panels.
