New forms of mass timber construction are pushing the demand for connection technology. Learn how to design essential mass timber systems with the MTC Solutions Connectors Design Guide. This document features connectors engineered and tested for the North American mass timber market, including angle brackets, tension straps, and base shear plates. These connectors are ideally suited to connect mass timber members made from modern engineered wood products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam).

Within this guide, you will find tabulated design values, geometry and detailing specifications, and testing overviews, helping you design secure connections for your high-capacity mass timber projects.
