Understanding Premature Failures in Timber-steel Fixings

Failures in timber connections and fixings are rare. But they do sometimes occur, particularly in more demanding environments and applications.

These isolated cases – premature failure is observed in approximately 1 project out of 1000 – are predominantly found in metal-to-timber connections, where conditions are the most demanding.

Join Andrés Reyes García (Product Line Manager, Screws & Concrete Anchors) from Rothoblaas, for this webinar which will outline the causes and contexts of these fixings failures. He will explain phenonema like hydrogen embrittlement, and describe a risk-based approach on hybrid structures.

Precisely because of their infrequency, for years it has been challenging to identify any common causes. However, the industry, together with engineers, builders and standardisation bodies, is now beginning to understand and address the factors contributing to these issues.
