Design Notes

Capacity of connection is controlled by shear capacity of dowel-type fasteners.
Spline will likely be above panels without routed surface. Designer to ensure floor or roof coverings allow for this.
Screws are more common for this connection. Nails may be used for light-gauge steel splines.
Steel splines are more common with SCL-CLT applications.

Adjacent floor panels are butted together. A steel spline is fastened to both panels using partially-threaded screws or nails.
