New criteria for the determination of the parallel-to-grain embedment strength of wood

•Embedment strength is a main parameter in the dowel-type timber connections analysis.•The work proposes to consider it as a system instead of a material property.•A new formula is presented, with a non-linear relation with timber density.•Dowel diameter is discarded as a primary factor.•The influen...
