Connecting systems for modern mass timber construction
On the following pages, you will find our connecting systems for modern mass timber construction:
With its standard sizes, the MEGANT® connecting system covers beam widths from 100 mm with a 633 kN load capacity, requiring only 2 cm hook way. The RICON®S system offers up to 116 kN load capacity with only 3.5 cm hook way. Both connection systems are used for main and secondary beam joints and can also join timber to steel or concrete. Being pre-engineered the MEGANT® and RICON® S offer a high degree of prefabrication and allow a smooth and quick installation without the danger of jamming during insertion.

With over 30 years of experience inventing connecting solutions for woodworkers, KNAPP® is proud to say, „we supply the world“. While our main headquarters is located in Austria, KNAPP® has been supplying connectors to the United States and Canada for over 20 years. As the demand for invisible connecting solutions grew, we replied by establishing our U.S. branch in 2017 to better serve the needs of our fellow woodworkers. If you live within North, South, or Central America, please visit KNAPPconnectors.com or email info@KNAPPconnectors.com to be connected with the right representative.

details:
A new construction for the refectory and library consists of a timber structure, glass facades, and cladding. Wood is the main element. An orthogonal grid of glulam beams, approximately 90 cm high and 20 cm wide, rigidly connected in both directions, was chosen for the timber structure. The glulam structure gives the hall a unique and elegant design. It creates a warm atmosphere and a place for conviviality. The sheltered balconies along the façade provide additional space for relaxation, offering a panoramic view of the campus.

Year of construction: 2015
Details: The inspiration for the French pavilion at Expo 2015 in Milan was the covered market as a symbol of French food culture. The three-storey building is mostly made of wood, including the almost 1500-square-metre vault in its core. A grid of curved glulam beams at a distance of 1,5 metres forms the ceiling of the market hall and the supporting structure for the levels above at the same time. This framework rises to a full height of 12 metres at to specific corners, whereas it reaches up to 8 metres inside. designtoproduction was commissioned to plan the structure of the vault structure by the French timber construction company Simonin. 730 individually curved support segments with variable cross sections of up to 200 × 2400 mm had to be modeled digitally, including the connection details at more than 600 crossing points. The paver received detailed 3D CAD models and 2D plans of all components as well as manufacturing data in BTL format.

MEGANT® | Flexible connector for extreme loads
RICON® S | The connector for main and secondary beam up to 230 kN
The heavy load main and secondary beam connector RICON® S consists of two identical connector plates, made of galvanized steel. The plates are screwed onto the timber, steel, and/or concrete components. The components are joined as the plates hook into each other in a dovetail-like manner. The RICON® S is used in residential and commercial timber construction, as well as engineered timber structures. You can meet the needed load capacity by using the appropriate amount of RICON® S SK screws.
RICON® S is available in five sizes with six different collar bolt variants to meet all wood, steel, and concrete connection requirements.
VS= welded collar bolt for highest load capacities
VK= screwed collar bolt for moderate charge capacities
EK EK M= adjustable collar bolt for tolerance adjustments
GK= spring-loaded collar bolt for special assembly requirements
Characteristic value F2,Rk in the insertion direction only apply for original KNAPP CS-Screws according to ETA 10/0189 (2022/08/25)
- Connector for timber frame, wood frame buildings and halls
- Timber width from 100 mm upwards
- Universally applicable to timber, steel or concrete
- Simple screwing without predrilling
- Easy hooking by large V-shaping – only 3,5 cm hooking way
- Three- and four-sided concealed connection
- High fire resistence through three- and four-sided concealed mounting
- Adjustable collar bolt up to 5mm length tolerance at full load capacity
- Optional – securing against the insertion direction with a locking clip
Connection options for wood, wood-based materials, steel, concrete
