Hi - I'm a woodworker, and not an engineer, and would be much obliged if someone could tell me how may lbs/lg would it take for this connection to fail. The force is static. Thanks.
We’ve been asked to provide a mock-up and quote for a retail display. My intuition tells me that while interesting, it’s not practical.
Putting aside the fact that while it could not be free-standing, and even a solid base may not be enough without some type of upper plate, my concern is what...
In the manufacture of laminated timber structures the pressure should be 0.6-1.0 N/mm². In attempting to convert to 'foot pounds', I'm just all over the place with ridiculously high figures (325 ft pd) to incredibly low (4.7). The latter coming from 1 N/mm2 = 1 MPa.
Can anyone shed some light...
