Therefore, lateral shear resistance capacity of one stapled and one-row multi stapled joints constructed from Scotch pine, alder, and beech were investigated. Results showed that the joints constructed from beech with a density of 0,54 gr/cm<sup>3</sup> yielded 4893 N, the 4 staples joints constructed from alder with a density of 0,51 gr/cm<sup>3</sup> yielded 4487 N, and the 4 staples joints constructed from Scotch pine with a density of 0,45 gr/cm<sup>3</sup> yielded 3498 N. Three and two staples connected joints also indicated decreasing trend when changing wood from beech to alder and Scotch pine. Results also indicated that increasing number of staple from 2 to 4 in one-row joints increased force of the joints. Two prediction formulas were derived to predict the shear of one-row multi stapled wood joints. Both formulas yielded remarkable results compared to actual laboratory test results.</p> ER -
