Skew Notch Joint

HO2+

The HO2+ program can be used to design compression loaded timber connections as skew notches. With simple notch joints, the user can select among notched front joints and notched heel joints. For double notch joints, he/she can select among the combinations front-front, heel-heel, or front-heel.

Design

The software calculates automatically the minimum and maximum depths of cut and the required forepart lengths. It also verifies the stress resistance in the connected member weakened by the skew notch. The user can adjust the depths of cut within the permissible limit values. If the system dimensions do not comply with the conditions of the selected skew notch design, the defined values must be adjusted accordingly.

If the effective length is specified by the user, the resistance of the compression member against stresses that apply at the member ends due to an eccentric load application are verified.

The specified loading on the skew notch joint must be entered as design load cases and the associated load duration classes LDC must be assigned.
