Abstract

The title of this publication-"Current and Future Applications of Mechanical Fasteners for Light-Frame Wood Structures" is the theme of this plenary session from the 1991 annual meeting of the Forest Products Research Society (FPRS). This theme was chosen to address current issues in the forest products industry: changing design codes, fastener performance, and legal responsibilities. It is hoped that this session helped provide a forum for forest products industries influenced by mechanical fasteners and also for research agencies, resulting in an increased exchange of current knowledge and concerns for the future.
