The image shows reinforcement elements used for transverse tension problems in timber construction. The aim is to use full-thread screws as reinforcement to withstand compression perpendicular to the grain. Such reinforcements are crucial for checking local compression and preventing damage. The targeted installation of screws is shown to increase load-bearing capacity and stability.
