Elements of large-span laminated wood structures can have a long length, which causes difficulties for manufacturing and transportation. This is especially true for bent laminated elements of arches, frames, meridional ribs of domes and other structures. There is a need to break down long structures into technological elements with implementation of consolidation rigid joints. Russia has developed a system of node joints of wooden structures on inclined glued-in rods - the "TSNIISK System". The basic principle of rigid joints is to fasten the embedded part to the wooden element by means of obliquely glued rods. Two types of rigid joints are proposed: with unidirectional inclined glued-in rods and with glued-in rods forming V-shaped anchors. A methodology for calculating knots and joints on glued rods has been developed. During the design and construction of long-span buildings and structures with glued wooden frames, control tests are conducted. Examples of control tests of the mineral fertilizer warehouses structures are presented. The results of the control tests confirm the correctness of the calculation methodology. Hundreds of buildings and structures with glued wood frames with glued-in rods used in the nodes have been built in Russia.
