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...
Building owners often state requirements that new buildings shall have open and flexible architecture in order to allow flexible use and future changes. A way to improve timber buildings in that direction is to increase the stiffness of the connections between horizontal and vertical members of the structural systems...
In this study, five full-scale bolted glulam beam-to-beam connections with slotted-in steel plates were conducted under a third-point loading, and a three-dimensional finite element method based model was also established to investigate the failure modes and moment resistance of such connections...
This paper presents a study on the moment resistance of post-and-beam joints with concealed metallic connectors aimed at replacing in a more modern design the wood-wood joints of traditional Korean Hanok timber houses. Several variations of the design of...
