Threaded-Nail Fasteners - Research And Standardization Needs, B L. Wills, S G. Winistorfer, D A. Bender, David Pollock

Faculty Publications - Biomedical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering

Threaded nail fasteners are commonly used in agricultural and commercial post-frame structures, yet there has been insufficient research to fully understand the effect of threads on withdrawal and lateral load resistance. The objective of this article is to review technical information on threaded nail fasteners and to identify problems facing manufacturers, designers, and users of threaded nail fasteners for engineering applications. Recommendations are given concerning research and standardization needs.
