There are several common forms of splicesfor resisting direct tension. These differfrom each other mainly in the amountof labor involved in making them. Thesimplest of them is shown in Fig. 59, andit will be seen that it is only a slightmodification of the halved splice used forresisting compression. It is evident thatthe pieces can not pull apart in the direc-tion of their length until the timber crushes along the face marked A-B, or shears along the dotted lineA-C. By varying the dimensions of the splice it may be made suit-able for any situation. The parts are held closely together by thelight fish plate shown in the figure, which also incidentally addssomething to the strength of the splice. Instead of cutting the ends of the beams square,
