Abstract: | The shear strength of dowel-type timber connections with multiple slotted-in steel plates was estimated based on European
yield theory. The values calculated based on the yield theory were compared with experimentally obtained results. An experiment
was performed on dowel-type timber connections with two and three slottedin steel plates under lateral loads parallel to the
grain. The yield mode of the dowel-type connection assumed in this study corresponds approximately to the failure mode of
the connection obtained from the experiment. The shear strength of the dowel-type connections calculated based on the yield
theory showed good agreement with the results for shear strength obtained in the experiment. The yield theory was useful for
estimating the shear strength of the doweltype connection with multiple slotted-in steel plates. The shear strength of the
dowel-type connection was greatly affected by the spacing of the steel plates, the number of steel plates, and the timber
thickness. The values of these parameters that showed the proper shear strength of the dowel-type connection could be estimated
based on the yield theory.
