Prediction of yield load has nowadays been accepted as the basis for the limit state method of the design. Currently, there are many methods to predict the yield load of timber joints. These methods, i.e Foschi, Johansen, Smith and US 5 nail diameter offset, are reviewed in-depth in this paper. In t...
