Abstract: A two‐year aging study was presented for four sealants: a low‐modulus silicone, a medium‐modulus silicone, a one‐part polyurethane, and a two‐part polyurethane. A specimen, with red granite substrates, is used. The four ...

Abstract: Specimens simulating silicone bonded structural glazing joints were tested to failure under combinations of tensile and shear displacement. Tension, shear, and moment resultants in the joint specimens were monitored ...

Abstract: A possible candidate for replacement of tension laminations in glulam beams is examined. The replacement is a composite of concrete‐reinforcing steel embedded in oriented flakeboard. Pullout tests were used to select the ...

Abstract: The objectives of this paper are to present experimental data and analytical models to assist in the analysis and design of pegged joints in traditional timber frames. Seventy-two simplified mortise and tenon joints were ...

Abstract: Traditional timber connections with wood pegs are encountered in the renovation and rehabilitation of historic wood structures and in the construction of new structures where rustic appearance and traditional methods are ...
