The insert can be installed into the wood and connected to the steel ele- ment with a metric bolt. Depending on the insert size used, an M10 or M16 bolt will be required. Standard RAMPA SKL insert diameter sizes range from 18.5 mm to 25 mm (3/4” to 1”). Available lengths are 70 mm and 100 mm (2-3/4" to 4”). RAMPA inserts cannot be installed without pre- drilling! Predrilling suggestions are outlined in the table below and must be followed to maintain load bearing function in structural connections. ‘When installing RAMPA inserts for use in dismountable connections, a RAMPA insert setter bit is to be used to reduce wear in the internal threads. In case of permanent connections where the insert is not expected to be removed during the buil bit can be used for installation. ing service life a common metric hex socket European design procedures suggest that the RAMPA insert may also be used for structural con- nections in lumber, timber, glulam Cross-Laminated-Timber, LVL and similar structural composite lumbers.

Typical bolted steel to steel connections used in temporary structures can be dissembled fast and be reused many times. Steel however is heavy and may cause high transportation cost and possibly requires larger, more ex- pensive cranes on site. Wood however is not often considered to be used in temporary structures potentially because of the requirement of dismountable connections even though it would, due to its advantageous weight to strength ratio, solve transportation weight issues. RAMPA SKL inserts in dismountable connections may contribute to solve the problem of dis- mountable timber connections in temporary structures.

Design assumptions: For the purpose of this newsletter the CSA 086 lag screw design procedure is adopted wherever possible. A minimum main member penetration of the insert with 3*d where d = outside thread diameter as outlined in the European Technical Approval for RAMPA inserts ETA-12/0481 is adopt- ed. To account for the relatively short main member penetration the J, factor as per O86 was set to 0.5 for all inserts, Furthermore a yield strength fy= 310Mpa is assumed for RAMPA inserts rang- ing from 18.5 mm to 25 mm in diameter. Steel plates are to be of grade A36 steel grade with 400Mpa ultimate tensile strength. The main member embedment strength f, for lateral load resistance design in CLT was calculated using the following equation: fa = 95.6- d75- p305 Metric bolts M10 or M16 screwed into the respective RAMPA insert should be of grade 8.8 and must engage with the entire internal thread length (17 mm, 25 mm) of the insert. d utside thread diameter in mm p= mean oven dry relative density (for CLT made from S-P-F lumber 0.42) |, = effective thread penetration depth in mm (insert length minus 5 mm) ng=1 Koy Kyat AMS Tepes onto BEAM paras.
