The main objective of this work is to present wood-steel-wood (W-S-W) connections in doubleshear, joined by steel dowel fasteners and a steel plate as the central member. For each studied connection, different dowel diameters and external applied tensile loads in fire situation shall be taken in account. Considering the rules presented in Eurocode 5, part 1-1 and 1-2, the calculated number of dowels will be arranged in lines and columns and carry out an imposed spacing between the connectors. This work is intended to study the W-S-W connection exposed to fire using the standard curve ISO834. In the wood plates will be used a glue laminated wood, as yellow birch, with characteristics equals to GL28H. For protected connections three types of gypsum will be used in order to obtain a better insulation.
