    Connections are an essential part of any structure, and in timber structures they are often the most critical part of a design. The timber section size is often determined by the strength of the section remaining after drilling holes for bolts or dowels, or by the spacing requirements for the fasteners, rather than the load-carrying capacity of the timber. Therefore the design of connections is an important section of any timber design standard.

    When selecting and detailing connections for a particular application, designers must consider four criteria:

    Load transfer
    Fire resistance
    Durability
    Appearance
