This paper demonstrates the results of experimental determination of load-bearing capacity of structural timber member connections realized by nail metal
connector plates which represent a new type of mechanical fasteners in load-bearing timber structures. The application of this type of metal connector
should eliminate weakness of the standard metal connector plates produced by sheet perforating and pulling the teeth perpendicular to a sheet plane. The
aim of the conducted experimental study was to determine the load-bearing capacity of connections realized by nail metal connector plates, in accordance
with the provisions of Eurocode 5. Experimental testing was conducted by loading of multiple samples up to the limit bearing capacity of connection
realized by nail metal connector plate. Discussion of the test results included the analysis of the limit bearing capacity of connection for different values of
connection displacements, comparison of the obtained results with characte...ristic load-bearing capacity of standard type of metal connectors and with loadbearing capacity of nails calculated in accordance with limit state theory. Review of the determined limit bearing capacities of realized connections was
given in the conclusion, together with the comment on test results, for the purpose of improving the application of metal connectors in modern systems of
timber structures.
