In this contribution bending and shear tests of cross laminated timber (CLT) plates under concentrated loads are presented. The so loaded structural members can fail either due to punching along a critical perimeter line in the vicinity of the concentrated load or in bending. Two test configurations were developed and investigated by linear...
An experimental study was conducted to elucidate the effects of thermal penetration on delamination and the potential changes in failure mode of CLT. The first test series studied thermal penetration depths at various heat fluxes. The second test series consisted of single lap shear tests at homogeneous elevated temperatures followed by a...
This document describes development of I shaped beam(I-beam) using diagonal lattice panel, called Kizure Panel that is made of Japanese cedar, for web. Kizure Panel has excellent shear performance that is suitable for Ibeam. This I-beam has flanges of LVL using Japanese larch...
The performance of timber-concrete composite bridge constructions crucially depends on the design of the joint between concrete deck and timber main girders. In research studies at the Bauhaus-University Weimar, innovative joining techniques based on grouting with highly-filled, tolerance-compensating polymer glue mortars have...
