The hidden connection provides a
satisfying appearance to the joint and
fulfills the fire safety requirements.
A countersink where the first hole is
located, facilitates the introduction of
the secondary beam from the top
TIMBER - CONCRETE
For applications on reinforced concrete
or other uneven surfaces the self-drilling
dowels allow a greater installation
tolerance when fixing the timber
element. Values are certified, tested and
consolidated
CERTIFIED SAFETY
AluMIDI bracket has been the subject
of many research works, studies and
international publications, both from
theoretical (calculation models) and
experimental point of view

All Strength values of the connection system are valid for the calculation hypotheses listed in the table.
For different configurations the free software myProject is available (www.rothoblaas.com)
The analysis of various configurations is possible by varying number and type of fasteners, inclination,
dimensions and material of the structural elements to maximize the mechanical strength.
• Possibility of using two different methods of calculation (according to ETA 09/0361 and experimental model
• Wide and diversified variety of ALUMINI, MIDI e MAXI brackets able to satisfy different static requirements

• Characteristic values are consistent with EN 1995:2008, in accordance with • Admissible values are obtained according to DIN 1052:1988.
ETA-09/0361 and evaluated with rothoblaas experimental method. • For the calculation process a timber density ρk = 380 kg/m3 has been considereded.
• Design values can be obtained from characteristic values as follows: • In some cases the connection shear strength RV,k is notably large and may be
higher than the secondary joist strength. Particular attention should be paid to the
shear check of the reduced timber crossection in correspondence with the bracket
location.
Coefficients γm and kmod smust be taken according to the current
Standard adopted for the design.

LABORATORY TESTING
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
A comprehensive experimental campaign aimed at defining the real behaviour of the ALU brackets was carried out in collaboration the University
of Trento. A numerical model has then been proposed and validated on the experimental results (rothoblaas experimental method).
Experimental investigation – Laboratorio Prove Materiali e Strutture (LPMS - Faculty of Engineering, Trento)
Tests on full-scale
specimens (main-
secondary joint)
NUMERICAL MODELING
Investigation on the plastic deformation history of dowels and ALU brackets through finite element analysis.

(1) Recommended minimum width of the secondary beam to accommodate the grooving while ensuring that the connection remains completely hidden
(2) Lateral distance to the edge of the timber element < 10 mm, thus particolar care is suggested when realizing the grooving
