The limiting wood stresses used in the yield model are based on the load at which the
load-deformation curve from a fastener embedment test intersects a line represented by the
initial tangent modolus offset 5%of the fastener diameter. The reduction term, Rd, reduces the
values calculated using the yield limit equations to approximate estimates of the nominal
proportional limit design valuesin previous NDS editions.
