Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Load-Carrying Capacity of a Timber Semi-Rigid Dowel-Type Connection.

The paper deals with the analysis of the load-carrying capacity of a timber semi-rigid connection created from a system of two stands and a rung. The connection was made from glued laminated timber with metal mechanical dowel-type fasteners. Not only a common combination of bolts and dowels, but also fully threaded screws were used for the connection.

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Rotational Stiffness of a Timber Semi-Rigid Dowel-Type Connection.

The paper deals with the analysis of the rotational stiffness of a semirigid connection created from a system of two stands and a rung. The connection was made from glued laminated timber with metal mechanical dowel-type fasteners. Not only a common combination of bolts and dowels but also fully threaded screws were used for the connection.

Load-Carrying Capacity of Double-Shear Bolted Connections with Slotted-In Steel Plates in Squared and Round Timber Based on the Experimental Testing, European Yield Model, and Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics.

Nowadays, the use of timber as a building material is gaining more prominence. When designing timber structures, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the design of their connections. The commonly used connections are dowel-type connections, which are often used in combination with steel plates slotted into cut-outs in timber members.

Rotational Stiffness and Carrying Capacity of Timber Frame Corners with Dowel Type Connections.

With the development of wooden structures and buildings, there is a need to research physical and numerical tests of wood-based structures. The presented research is focused on construction and computational approaches for new types of joints to use in wooden structures, particularly glued lamella elements made of wood and wood-based composites. This article focuses on improving the frame connection of a wooden post and a beam with the use of fasteners to ensure better load-bearing capacity and stiffness of the structure.
