GEOMETRY
THE DETAIL THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
2. NOTCH NOTCH
The notch makes it possible to tear the fibres during insertion, thus pre-
venting the risk of splitting or cracking the wood. The setback position of
the notch is essential to guarantee excellent grip and perforation of the tip.
3. THREAD
With carefully designed geometries, the thread allows fast, secure screw-
THREAD SPACING
ing, in particular the thread pitch is related to screw diameter and length.
Coarse-pitch threads are well suited to medium/long screws as they
make screwing faster; on the other hand, fine-pitch threads are ideal for
small screws which require great care and precision during screwing.
4, CUTTER
The geometry of the cutter is carefully studied to widen the wood grain and CUTTER
move away the shavings created as the screw progresses. The cutter creates
the space for the passage of the shank and limits screw overheating.
5. SHANK
The shank is covered by special surface waxing which considerably re-
duces friction and torsional stress during screwing. WAXING
6. UNDERHEAD
The ribs are very sharp and able to cut through the shavings coming out
of the hole, following perforation of the wood.
7. HEAD
Head geometry defines screw resistance to penetration. RIBS

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
CONSTANT EVOLVING KNOW-HOW
FAST GRIP
It is obtained with a sharp tip, initial coarse thread and a regular conical
profile in the first section;
EASE OF PROGRESS
It is the ability of the screw to penetrate the wood with reduced effort
and is obtained with an initial slow thread (double or reverse) and irregu-
lar geometry that facilitates the removal of shavings;
FAST INSERTION
To allow for fast insertion, the notch must be setback with respect to the
end of the tip and is fundamental for screws longer than 50 mm, to avoid
splitting during insertion and to maintain an acceptable level of wood
damage.
The objective of the standard is to verify that, based on the seismic class
and choice of fastener, at the end of the third cycle, the residual moment
Mres is at least equal to 80% of the average yield moment My determined
with monotonic testing.

LVL AND HARDWOOD
HIGH DENSITY WOODS
Chestnut, oak, cypress, beech, eucalyptus, bamboo and many other ex- MICROLLAM® LUMBER
otic woods are increasingly being used in construction. In addition to
these, elements in Microllam® lumber, called LVL (Laminated Veneer
Lumber), are also used. These are continuous elements, obtained from
thin layers of different species of wood (fir, pine, beech) just a few milli-
metres thick, overlapped and glued together. Microllam® sheets can be
produced with longitudinal grains or crossed grains depending on the
structural use of the element.
The resulting elements offer absolute dimensional stability and high me-
chanical performance for a wide range of applications (beams, joists,
pillars, walls, floors, curved elements, etc.).

With the aim of categorising the performance of partially threaded screws and fully threaded connectors in applications us-
ing LVL elements, Rothoblaas has conducted in-depth research at accredited external laboratories (Eurofins Expert Services

INTEGRATED WASHER
The flange head serves as washer and ensures high tensile strength. Ideal
in the presence of wind or variations in timber dimensions.
STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS
Approved for structural applications subject to stresses in any direction
vs. the grain (α = 0° - 90°). Asymmetric “umbrella” threading for better
wood pull-through.
SUPERIOR STRENGTH
Steel with superb yield and failure strength (f y,k = 1000 N/mm2). Very high
torsional strength ftor,k for safer screwing.
DUCTILITY
Bending angle 20° greater than standard, certified according to ETA
11/0030, Cyclical SEISMIC-REV tests according to EN 12512. Seismic
performance tested according to EN 14592.
CHARACTERISTICS
FOCUS screw with built-in washer
HEAD flange
DIAMETER from 6,0 mm to 10,0 mm
LENGTH from 40 mm to 520 mm
MATERIAL
Carbon steel with bright zinc plated.
FIELDS OF USE
• wood based panels
• solid timber
• glulam (Glued Laminated Timber)
• CLT, LVL
• high density woods
Service classes 1 and 2.
64 | TBS | CARPENTRY
SECONDARY BEAMS
Ideal for fastening joists to sill beams to achieve
high wind uplift resistance. The flange head
guarantees excellent tensile strength which
means the use of additional lateral fastening
systems can be avoided.
I-JOIST
Values also tested, certified and calculat-
ed for CLT and high density woods such as
Microllam® LVL.

REINFORCEMENT FOR TENSION

PERPENDICULAR TO THE

Failure can occur in the case in which the load applied affects a height
limited by the main beam (a/h ≤ 0,7). Markedly fragile behaviour.

FAILURE REINFORCEMENT
Crushing and severing of the fibres in the area where the forces are intro-
duced (e.g. supports). Sufficiently ductile behaviour.

FAILURE REINFORCEMENT
REINFORCEMENT FOR
LONGITUDINAL SHEAR
Collapse near the neutral axis, mutual sliding of the two parts of the
section. Beam subject to flexion: tense area or support area.
Markedly fragile behaviour.
TENSION
Deep thread and high resistance steel (f y,k = 1000 N/mm2) for excellent
tensile performance. Very broad range of measurements.

The VGU washer makes possible to install VGS screws at a 45° angle on
steel plates. Washer marked CE as per ETA 11/0030,
STRENGTH
Using the VGU washer with VGS screws inclined at a 45° angle on steel
plates restores the sliding strength.
PRACTICALITY
The ergonomic shape ensures a firm, precise grip during installation.
Three versions of washer, compatible with VGS Ø9, Ø11 and Ø13 mm,
for plates of variable thickness.

GENERALISED CORROSION
This is the corrosion that affects most metal surfaces exposed to an ag-
gressive environment. A distinction must be made between uniform and
uneven generalised corrosion: in the first case, penetration is the same
over the entire surface while, in the second, the profile may be more or
less regular.

(over 1000 kg/m3).
WPC BOARDS
Special geometry specifically designed for fastening WPC (Wood Plas-
tic Composite) boards to a wood or WPC substructure, even without
pre-drilling.
TRIPLE THREAD
The combination of the two under-head threads causes removal of the
WPC fibres. Exceptional penetration into the WPC, even without pre-drilling.
VOLCANO EFFECT
Removal of plastic fibres from the WPC guarantees an excellent board
finish. Small conical head ensures that it will be concealed in the WPC.

CALCULATION EXAMPLE
PERMEABLE
The anti-vegetation tarp prevents the growth of grasses and roots, pro-
tecting the patio substructure from the ground. Permeable to water, al-
lowing it to flow off.
STRONG
The polypropylene non-woven fabric (50 g/m2) effectively separates the
patio substructure from the ground. Dimensions optimised for patios
(1,6 m x 10 m).
MATERIAL
Non-woven fabric (NWF) in polypropylene (PP).
FIELDS OF USE
Separates substructure from ground.
OVERLAPPABLE
Available in 3 thicknesses (2.0, 3,0 and 5,0 mm), can also be overlapped
to obtain different thicknesses and thus effectively level the patio sub-
structure.
DURABILITY
The EPDM material guarantees excellent durability, is not subject to sag-
ging in time and does not suffer from exposure to sunlight.

GRAINY RUBBER
Made of granules of recycled rubber thermal-bonded with polyurethane.
Resistant to chemical interactions, maintains its characteristics in time
and is 100% recyclable.
ANTI-VIBRATION
The thermal-bonded rubber granules dampen vibrations, thus insulating
the noise produced by footsteps. Also ideal as a wall barrier and resilient
strip for acoustic separation.
