A state-of-the-art review of simple analytical fracture mechanics models for calculation of the splitting capacity of timber beams loaded perpendicular to the grain direction by connections is presented. It is shown that most of the already available mod...
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of different sizes of drift pins (12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 30mm) and six orientations of glulam associated with pin positions (RL, TL, LR, TR, LT, RT) on bearing stress and strain distributions of glulam using di...
In glued-laminated timber (glulam), fracture may occur at the interface of two adjacent laminae that mostly have different growth ring orientations. The double cantilever beam (DCB) tests for Mode I fractures and three-point bending end-notched flexure (...
