WHT PLATE T TIMBER PLATES FOR TENSILE LOADS COMPLETE RANGE Available in three versions of different thickness, material and height . The Pythagorean triple provides different levels of tensile strength . TENSION Ready-to-use plates: calculated, certified for tensile loads on tim-ber-to-timber joints . Available in three different strength levels . EARTHQUAKE AND MULTISTORY Ideal for the design of multi-storey buildings for different floor thickness values . Characteristic tensile strength of more than 150 kN . CHARACTERISTICS FOCUS MATERIAL Bright zinc plated carbon steel, two dimensional perforated plate FIELDS OF USE Timber-to-timber tensile joints for panels and timber beams • CLT, LVL • solid timber and glulam • framed structures (platform frame) • timber based panels

MULTI-STOREY Ideal for tensile joints in CLT multi-storey buildings where high tensile strengths are required. Optimised geometry for secure fastening. HBS PLATE Ideal in combinations with HBS PLATE or HBS PLATE EVO screws. The head of the screws has a shoulder and the thickness is increased for the plates completely safe, reliable fastening to the timber. PANELS AND BUILDING JOINTS | WHT PLATE T | 251

MATERIAL AND DURABILITY WHT PLATE T: S355 bright zinc plated carbon steel . To be used in service classes 1 and 2 (EN 1995-1-1) . EXTERNAL LOADS FIELD OF USE • Timber-to-timber joints 252 | WHT PLATE T | PANELS AND BUILDING JOINTS

WHT PLATE T plates are designed for different floor thickness values including resilient acoustic profile . The positioning notches, as an assembly aid, indicate the maximum permitted distance (D) between the CLT wall panels in compliance with the minimum distances for HBS PLATE 08 mm screws . This distance includes the space required for the acoustic profile housing (sacoustjc) . GENERAL PRINCIPLES: Characteristic values are consistent with EN 1995 1-1 and ETA-11/0030. The design values are obtained from the characteristic values as follows: R . k For the calculation process a timber density...
