Abstract
DURING the past three years, tests have been in progress at the Division of Forest Products, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, to investigate the creep of nailed timber joints under constant lateral loads. No information on this subject has hitherto been available, although recently Wyatt1 has given some results on the loading of eaves joints. Möhler2 has also reported some limited tests, while Norén3 has discussed the theoretical basis of creep in nailed joints.
