Aluminum angles are widely used as tension members with bolted connection in buildings. In current design specification for net tensile capacity, reduction factor (U) is usually used to account for the effects of shear lag and bending induced from load eccentricity. In this paper, an investigation on reduction factor (U) of bolted angle connections was conducted and focused on net section efficiency according to the change of plate thickness and bolt arrangement. Exception to some specimens with short end distance and 1x1 bolt arrangement, all most specimens failed by net tensile fracture accompanied by curling at outstanding leg. The value of curling deformation has increased with increase of end distance (e) and the curling influenced the fracture mode of bolted angle connection. Also, net section efficiency has tended to increase according to the increase of bolt number and plate thickness.

In cases of wooden structure and wooden house installed on the outside, metal goods used for basic connection are usually screw bolts, strainless nails and general iron nails. As metal connections on wood are directly exposed to exterior environment, friction resistibility of nails on metal connections declines and continual defects on this are generated and maintenance for it is required. However, experiments and analyses for preparing basic data for improvement of the problems have been not conducted so far and wooden structures with defects are abandoned. Accordingly, by analyzing friction resistibility of connections by each kind of woods and metal goods, the study aims to suggest to use metal goods appropriately by kinds of woods and manufacture conditions with analysis on characteristics of resistibility of extracting nails for solving such problems and to secure basic data for establishing maintenance, repair and reinforcement plans.
