Jones Spacing

Jones spacing is a method used to determine the optimal placement of bolts or fasteners in structural applications, particularly in timber or composite beams. It involves calculating specific distances between fasteners to ensure maximum strength and load distribution while minimizing the risk of failure or splitting. The spacing is based on factors such as material dimensions, wood grain orientation, and load requirements. Essentially, Jones spacing helps engineers confidently plan how to fasten components securely and efficiently, balancing safety with material integrity.
