This paper illustrates arrangements of self-tapping screws to reinforce the mechanical behaviour of transverse compression. Several experimental approaches are studied such as the reinforcement below the support, beside the support or the combination of these two reinforcements. The last experimental approach is explored to solicit the shear over the entire height of the screw. These different approaches of reinforcement allow seeing a panel of constructive solutions to transverse compression reinforcement by screws. This panel allows adapting the type of reinforcement with the studied building.
