RISSplitting Strength of Small Dowel-Type Timber Connections: Rivet Joint Loaded Perpendicular to Grain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The existing models for the prediction of the splitting failure of dowel-type connections loaded perpendicular to grain are determined generally based on crack growth of the entire member cross-section. These models can ...
Compression Behavior and Material Parameters of Radiata Pine at Different Orientations to the Grain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For investigations using finite-element methods, e.g., connection details under compression stresses, one needs to know not only the compression strength, but also the complete stress-strain behavior, including the hardening ...
Moment Connection for Quick Assembly of Timber Portal Frame Buildings: Theory and Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of a moment connection for use in prefabricated timber portal frame buildings. The connection, known as the quick-connect joint, uses rods housed in timber sleeves that are placed on the ...
Wood Block Tear-Out Resistance and Failure Modes of Timber Rivet Connections: A Stiffness-Based Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing prediction models for parallel to grain wood failure in timber connections using dowel-type fasteners consider the minimum, maximum, or summation of the tensile and shear capacities of the failed wood block planes. ...
Numerical Modeling of the Failure Behavior of Dowel Connections in Wood
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finite-element (FE) analysis makes it possible to investigate different parameters and their effect on the carrying capacity or failure behavior of a component in an easy and cost-effective way. But to do this, the numerical ...
Rocking Timber Structure with Slip-Friction Connectors Conceptualized As a Plastically Deformable Hinge within a Multistory Shear Wall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent experiments on a 2.44×2.44 m rigid timber wall panel with slip-friction connectors have demonstrated the feasibility of enabling elastoplastic behavior in structures that would otherwise be essentially rigid. The ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigations of a Timber–Concrete Composite Beam Using a Hardwood Interface Layer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a study that examined the use of a new connection system in a prefabricated timber–concrete composite (TCC) beam in which a hardwood layer was glued to the top of a timber web to reinforce a dowel-type ...
Pinching-Free Connector for Timber Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In timber structures resisting earthquakes, slender steel fasteners are traditionally employed to provide ductility in the joints. However, this is associated with pinched hysteresis loops when timber fibers are irreversibly ...
Damping-Ductility Relationships for Flag-Shaped Hysteresis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Damping-ductility relationships, as applied in direct displacement-based design (DDBD), are products of equivalent linearization techniques used to estimate the nonlinear response of structures. Currently, suitable ...
