A method for connecting unfilled natural bamboo was proposed, comprising screws and metal plates. The is commonly used in timber connections, yet connections are rarely seen, mostly due to the perceived risk of splitting. This study aimed assess applicability through extensive testing short-term laterally loaded connection parallel fibre, including variation several parameters. An existing mode...

The aim of the paper is to analyse an exemplary bolted connection under conditions loss bearing capacity some fasteners in connection. presented tests are numerical and concern asymmetric joined elements were modelled as 3D finite elements, treated hybrid models consisting rigid heads nuts, flexible beams between them. was first preloaded according six different tensioning orders using a standa...

The paper presents experimental studies of an asymmetric multi-bolted connection at the preloading state. Design assumptions and structure a stand for testing forces in bolts were introduced. tightening process was conducted with wrench, monitoring values using calibrated measuring system based on resistance strain gauges. measurement data processed Matlab R2018b Simulink program. Two methods b...

The aim of the study is numerical analysis a bolted connection under conditions loss bearing capacity some fasteners in this connection. joined plates were made 3D finite elements, while treated as hybrid models consisting rigid heads and nuts flexible beams between them. A model unilateral contact with friction was used plates. first preloaded according to three different tensioning sequences ...
