The aim of this paper was to determine the axial tensile load capacity of timber structure elements with inserted metal plates with welded nails. The tests were performed on three specimens in the laboratory of the AdMaS centre of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology. The tensile force was applied on the specimen by increasing the force up to the specimen failure. The inductive displacement transducers continuously measured the displacement of the inserted joint plates with regard to timber prisms. The tensile load-bearing capacity of the tested joint was determined at 205.0 kN. Due to the advantages, the tested joints with inserted nail plates seem to be appropriate for joining suitable timber elements.
