Standards for Stiffness Calculations of Nails

Standards for the calculation of nail yield: EN 1995, NDS and CSA O86 for beam panels. Application of nonlinear line hinges.

The image shows the EN 1995, NDS, and CSA O86 standards used to calculate the yielding of nails in beam panels. The stiffness of the nails is simulated by nonlinear line hinges. These standards allow for a detailed analysis of composite structures. This is the only way to efficiently evaluate the structural integrity.
