The objective of this research is to understand the behavior of metal-plate-
connected (MPC) joints by examining actual MPC truss heel and tension
splice joints subjected to hurricane wind load simulations and impact loads.
A hurricane wind load simulation was applied to MPC heel joints to
determine if a large...
