Krishna,

For wood-to-steel connections, a good reference will be Section 3.2.1.2.4 of the 2015 Direct Fastening Technical Guide (https://submittals.us.hilti.com/PTGVol1/#22), as well as the load tables for the fastener into steel base materials. It is important to keep in mind that there will be no testing specific to the wood plate itself, as it would be an engineering judgement by you or the design engineer on the project.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan
