Timber connection is the most important part in timber structural building. In design, it depends on parameter criteria such as bolt diameter, bolt spacing, edge and end distance. End distance is one of design criteria that will influence mechanical timber joint such in single and double shear. This study focuses for a single fastener joint loaded in double shear with 12mm and 16mm bolt diameters having 30mm and 40mm end distance respectively. Double shear test was conducted on Balau timber species and the finding also focuses on the pattern failure modes with reference to European Yield Model (EYM) theory according to National Design Specification (NDS) 2005. It shows that the joint ability to withstand load decreased when the bolt diameter and end distance smaller and conversely with larger bolt diameter. The failure behavior for 12mm diameter tends to fail into category IIIs which described two plastic hinges formed with crushing of wood fibres in the side members. While, 16mm diameter bolt tends to fail under categories of mode Is which dowel bearing failure or crushing of the side members. Eventually, 12mm bolt diameter produces lower shear strength compared to 16mm bolt diameter.Â
