Project contact is Thomas Tannert at the University of Northern British Columbia (Canada)
Summary
The project will validate the viability of Glued-in Rods (GiR) as high-performance connections in CLT. Small- and full-scale tests will be conducted to evaluate the performance of GiR, considering different connection parameters. The project will facilitate the development of reliable design guidance for GiR connections in CLT systems that constitute a promising solution for many applications, including tall structures where the design is governed by wind loading.
