In this paper, bending behaviours in hybrid composite glulam timbers reinforced using deformed steel bars and epoxy resin adhesives (RGTSB) are presented. The technique RGTSB was developed in order to improve flexural stiffness and strength in glulam timbers...
This paper presents preliminary results from an experimental program investigating the dynamic behaviour of glulam beams and columns subjected to simulated blast loads. A total of eight glulam beams and columns were tested destructively under static and dynamic loads...
There are environmental and potential economic advantages in using laminated veneer lumber (LVL) for building structures, but load-carrying capacity constrains uptake. Building on previous work in the field, the authors test the strategic placement of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) to improve the flexural strength of timber beams, investigating both...
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the use of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer sheets as reinforcement for the rotational behavior of bolted glulam beam-to-column connections. Monotonic loading was applied on connection specimens to identify their stiffness, ductility, and maximum moment resistance values. Material property...
In Japan, the moment resistance connections of large-scale timber building are inefficiency in terms of time and economic, because connections and column base hardware are custom-made to obtain the required performance. To improve this problem, it is necessary to unify standardization of their connection. At first, in this study, we focused on column-base connection, the horizontal...
