2. Truss connector plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_connector_plate

   Metal connector plates. A truss connector plate, or gang plate, is a kind of tie. Truss plates are light gauge metal plates used to connect prefabricated light frame wood trusses. They are produced by punching light gauge galvanized steel to create teeth on one side. The teeth are embedded in and hold the wooden frame components to the plate ...

3. Tie (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(engineering)

   In wood-frame construction ties are generally made of galvanized steel. [2] Wood framing ties generally have holes allowing them to be fastened to the wood structure by nails or screws . The number and type of nails are specific to the tie and its use.

4. Rail fastening system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_fastening_system

   The tie plate increases bearing area and holds the rail to correct gauge. It is fastened to wooden ties by means of spikes or bolts through holes in the plate. The part of the plate under the rail base is tapered, setting the inboard cant of the rail, typically "one in forty" (or 1.4 degrees ). The top surface of the plate has one or two ...

5. Fishplate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishplate

   A fishplate, splice bar or joint bar is a metal or composites connecting plate used to bolt the ends of two rails into a continuous track. The name is derived from fish, [1] a wooden reinforcement of a "built-up" ship's mast that helped round out its desired profile. [2]

6. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

   The method for calculating the size of a flitch beam to be used in construction is straightforward, using the transformed-section method. The steel plate is treated as an equally stiff piece of wood, with its width modified by the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. This allows the deflection of the entire beam to be calculated as if it were ...

7. John Calvin Jureit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin_Jureit

   John Calvin Jureit (July 24, 1918 – September 9, 2005) was an American civil engineer and the inventor of the Gang Nail connector plate, used in building construction specifically for the joining of timber truss joints of roof, floor trusses and prefabricated wall panels. This invention has been widely credited for the boom in affordable ...

8. Gusset plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate

   Gusset plates are used to connect beams and columns together or to connect truss members. They can be either the only way of connecting the beam and columns or they can be used with bolts and welds. Gusset plates are therefore used in most metal weight-bearing structures, but the material and size of the gusset plate varies based on the structure.

9. Truss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

   The truss is rested on the notches and bolted into place. A special plate/bracket may be added to increase connection load transfer capabilities. With mechanically-laminated posts, the truss may rest on a shortened outer-ply or on a shortened inner-ply. The later scenario places the bolts in double shear and is a very effective connection.
