Great Idea: Timber Frame Dovetail Mortise Tenon Joint System

Great Idea: Timber Frame Dovetail Mortise Tenon Joint System

There are fundamental limits and a need for clear understanding by architectural engineers of structural mechanical behavior to define building performance even in relatively low ground-motion levels. The Dovetail Differenceâ„¢ has a trapezoidal angled shape that interlocks with another angled board creating a snug fit that gives the timbers an even greater power to perform with woods inherent ability to dampen resonate frequencies while maintaining its beautiful aesthetic appearance.

Timber also meets the structural highway safety standards of HL-93 and AASHTO HS20-44 required in energy absorbent properties for building safe vehicular bridges where there is continuous traffic. This integrity is shown in timber framing dating back hundreds of years that have allowed for wide-open spaces, cathedral ceilings, commercial construction, great rooms and more.
