Masonite Beams is a company that produces I-beams. They are also working on developing a building system for industrial production of building components. A part of their building system is a composite floor, consisting of LVL and I-beams. At the moment they are working with a new type of joint between floor and wall, where the connection between floor and wall will be solved by a protrusion of the LVL being placed of a hanger mounted on the wall. The aim for this project was to find a screw pattern where the resistance of the protrusion is enough to handle the support reaction that can occure. A screw pattern that would be capable to manage the support reaction was derived by practical tests, done in Masonite Beams lab. When a screw pattern with a capacity high enough for the support reactions had been found, 5 samples of the same screw pattern were tested to be able to calculate a characteristic resistance. During the testing the performance of the included components were also evaluated. The support reaction that floor potentially could be exposed to was calculated to 6,25 kN, a value lower than the resistance, that was calculated to 7,27 kN.
