A STRENGTH CALCULATION METHOD OF SINGLE BOLTED TIMBER JOINT FOR END MEMBER JOINT LOADED PERPENDICULAR TO THE GRAIN

Limit analysis discussion of design methods for fracture of timber dowel joints loaded perpendicular to grain

Experimental study of locally loaded timber in compression perpendicular to the grain

Since the test method for compression strength perpendicular to the grain was changed from a partial area to a full area loading test, strength values for softwood in EN 338 were significantly reduced. Consequently, a change in Eurocode 5 was necessary to ensure an equivalent resistance level in compression perpendicular to the grain. Experimental results are presented with wood in compression ...

Recent Advances in Bolted composite Joint Strength Prediction

AMPTIAC Directory ... 15 The beginning In late 1993, the Mechanics and Surface Interactions Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials Directorate (AFRL/MLBM) was tasked to investigate the accuracy of the analysis methods used to predict the strength of bolted composite joints used on high-performance fighter aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor. The strength of bolted joints is essent...

Presentation and Analysis of Methods for Increasing Glue Joint Strength in the Same Length Joint

Glue joints are more useful in Aerospace so in this article we presented new method for glue joint. In this method the maximum stresses that occurs at the edges of the bottom glue joint and cause ultimate failure in this type of connection is Decrease and increase the glue joint strength. In this method glue in the area overlapping the discrete and separate column considered Also, the connectio...

Tests to Determine the Joint Stiffness and Resisting Moment Capacity of Joints in Timber-Framed Houses

Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...
