Fastening between timber slab and beam with shear load bearing and assembly/disassembly capacities

Abstract

A kit (110) for fastening a slab (106, 108) to a beam (104)includes a lower plate (110.1) with a central hole, applied on a lower face (106.2, 108.2) of the slab; an upper plate (110.3) with a central hole, applied on an upper face (106.1, 108.1) of the slab; a tubular spacer (110.2) extending through the slab; a bolt (110.4) inserted through the central hole of the upper plate (110.3), the tubular spacer (110.2), the central hole of the lower plate (110.1) and a hole in the beam (104); and a nut (110.5) engaging with the bolt (110.4) and resting on the beam (104). The lower plate (110.1) is permanently linked to the tubular spacer (110.2) while the upper plate (110.3) is not permanently linked to the tubular spacer (110.2) so as to allow insertion of the tubular spacer (110.2) in a drilling in the slab from its lower face.
