MTS15 Mass Timber Strap Product Description
The head size is a factor in fasteners with partial threads only, however on fasteners with full threads the head size is of no significant contribution.
Its because the screw in top has a wide head😑
Very cool!
Incredible.
@minikodtlivov: Thank you for commenting. Notches such as a notch in timber beams used for mass timber construction are not typically dimensioned just to have a notch. It is detailed to accommodate certain building requirements or, virtual notch considerations are a detail requiring structural consideration. The purpose of reinforcing technology in notches such as demonstrated in our video is engineered so that Mass Timber Beams with notches or virtual notches can be used instead of steel. By doing this we are now able to use a substantially more sustainable structural component and contribute meaningfully to the sustainable building idea.
I don't see too much meaning of this video, since notch which is at the end of the beam is always over dimensioned in comparson to the length and load of the beam in real case. This jack is maybe 16 ton. For this loads you use metal H beam and some special load calculations....But OK, If someone find himself in special occasion with limited sources this is good reminder.....
MTC is a great company to work with. They help us optimize connections, not with the goal of selling more product but with the goal of building better buildings.
MTC don’t allow any comments?
Um which ones which?
Top one is partially threaded, made to pull things together, the other is fully threaded made to hold things together
@@kacper.6537 nope... the top one has a wide head.
Thanks, so useful 😊👍🏻
I’d buy from this man any day
It looks like quite a nifty fastener, although I must confess that I am childish enough that I'll buy some just so I can say "Assy" a lot.
If Screwfix don’t sell them forget it or if they cost a fortune forget it
Great demo
Notched beams usually placed to take a vertical load.
Hello Bigal25938, Notched beams can be applied in all sorts of scenarios. Notches may be found in floor beams, roof beams or girder beams for instance.
as an aspiring orthopedic surgeon, thank you for making this concept make more sense! lag screws are frequently used to approximate 2 bone fragments back together.
Killiungjaro, fasteners and connection technology have the same use, they hold the "bones" of the building, i.e. the structure together.
Very interresting.
Beam notches are only allowed up to 1/3 the height of the beam for this very reason.
Hi Joe, it is correct that design codes limit notches for this reason. However, there are things like "accidental notches" or penetrations and opening in bending members that sometimes are required to accommodate services. In those cases, as an emergency repair or to allow openings in bending members the reinforcing possibility bis a great tool and problem solver
@@maxclosen7457 I agree.
Super video, a short in 2014 long before shorts were a thing! bravo. straight to the point and helpful
very nice "joint" great for exposed timber/ eng. framing.
In old fashioned timber framing , the ends had a long easy curve instead of that large rabbet cut /notch. It is harder for a crack to propagate through a curve than at the apex of right angle.
Thank you Pocketfarmer1 for this comment. This is correct. Back in the days reinforcing technology such as long full thread self tapping wood screws did not exists. Through the understanding of historic mechanics and stress flow master builders rounded the corners to allow stress to change more gradually rather than with a sharp spike at the origin of the notch. This technology works still today, we have tested that a few years back. The issue there for engineered large scale structures is however that we are then again dealing with the uncertainty of wood and larger variations due to natural things like knots and slop of grain irregularities. This, in todays environment is a challenge to proof reliably from an engineering point of view and it also increases machine time if one looks and considers CNC machine cutting. The better choice today, with a reliable outcome is to apply reinforcing screws with long full threads because we can control the properties and performance of our reinforcing efforts.
@@maxclosen7457 given what you you have said , mightn’t a combination of the two techniques be stronger. Where a long curve well beyond the shelf plate ends , then reinforcing screw at some optimal point through the full thickness?
@@Pocketfarmer1 Thank you for the question around this topic. A combination of both technologies will not work, it will not make the connection two times stronger. One of the reasons why this can not work is the different stiffness of the reinforcing methods. The reinforcing screw option is much stiffer than the wood fiber perpendicular to grain and will therefore attract the load first. Only after the reinforcing screws fail the rounded corner option will kick in. Since the load, due to the reinforcing screws, will have accumulated to a level exceeding the wood fiber strength, you will be seeing an immediate failure of the notch even with the rounding.
Will curving the notch make the beam stronger than installing the full thread screws, and is there a formula for the size of the radius?
@@huejanus5505 From our experience in the testing smoothing the corner only has some small impact on the notch strength. It is much weaker than a full thread wood screw reinforcement and still subject to randomness caused by slop of grain and regular wood irregularities. For applications in structural settings we would recommend to go with a screw reinforcement. I myself am not aware of a formula. If you are interested in this you may reach out to the Timber Framers Guild in the USA, there are some good folks there with a lot of historical knowledge.
Can it be screwed from the bottom Instead? Being that the bottom is all anyone can get to in a basement setting
Hello Jesse, good question, thank you. The Answer is yes, you can install the reinforcing screw from the bottom up, it is the same procedure overall. Contact a local design professional to help you determining the embedding required below and above the notch.
Hello Amateurism, the splitting of the wood is perpendicular to the grain direction. This is the weakest strength property of wood. The dark "lines" you are descripting are caused late wood typically. I am not aware of late wood being a major factor in splitting perpendicular to grain.
Great video, thank you. Do you know of wood tend to fail on the darker grain line or between the darker grain lines? You seem like a guy that would know. I suppose I could do a test to figure this one out. Thanks!
on a pine board the darker grain lines are stronger/denser, it’s noticeable on a old deck or something you’ll feel the ridges from where the lighter parts have shrunk. I’m not sure what you mean about your question though
@@james3522 It would also make sense that knots are very hard and very dark.
have video show an on-going installation even if it’s cutting back & forth from the presenter or an illustration presentation 🤷🏻♂️
Very informative video 👍
WOW!
Great company! They put a lot of effort into testing, education and service
Great connections
What kind of screw is that?
Hello Jose, the broken joint is pulled back together using a washer head screw. The reinforcement is achieved through a full thread wood screw similar to a rebar in concrete.
@@maxclosen7457 thank you do you have a model number or name for the screw
Interesting video. ¡Gracias por compartir!

Perfect demonstration for the difference.
What would be the best screw or bolt to use for hanging my heavy bag, on a glulam beam? It is 6.75" x 19" x 18' beam.
Our team of engineers would be happy to help you out with your project, you can reach them out by emailing support@mtcsolutions.com
How about that B Rush? You have an entire team of engineers assembled together to recommend your screw!
Hi JoshL: The purpose of long full thread wood screws is to reinforce particular weakness of wood. More commonly it is known that we place rebar in reinforced concrete to deal with tension in concrete. Concrete itself can not transmit tension but is good in transmitting compression. Wood is weak in transmitting tension perpendicular to grain so we can place rebar i.e. a wood screw, to reinforce this weakness.
What is the purpose for this?
Where would I go about purchasing something like this? I actually have a need for something like this!
How did I get here from music reaction videos you ask? Wormholes
What’s the music called
And how much was the load on CLT before failure?
The equivalent UDL was approximately 33kPA. One can visualize that as a approximately 3m of vertical water stacked up on the panel.
Wouldn't it be better to install the plate on a 45, so that the screws are not in line with the grain (at least in the layers of the CLT where it applies)?
Hi, Thanks for your question! in some cases such as for bigger panels, 4 yokes anchors are used, therefore they could be used at an angle pointing towards the centroid of the panels. The yoke system is currently the only tested and approved lifting solution for Mass Timber in North America. The design values do carry a minimum safety ratio of 4 based on test results completed in the USA.
My screw is bigger than yours
Very cool! Thanks for the demo!
