Current design rules for timber joints with dowel-type fasteners require input parameters such as yield moment and withdrawal capacity, which are determined within the European framework of certification testing. Databases containing these data were assembled. A large scatter was observed. Bespoke series may deliver clear trends. If representative data is considered, these clear trends vanish. Globally valid regression equations are conservative leading to incorrect prediction of failure modes.
This comprehensive book provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of design rules according to Eurocode 5. It is based on the first edition of the STEP (Structural Timber Education Programme) series, which was prepared in 1995 by about 50 authors from 14 European countries. The present work updates and extends the STEP compilation and is aimed at students, structural engineers and other timber structure professionals.
This book contains the contributions from the RILEM International Symposium on Materials and Joints in Timber Structures that was held in Stuttgart, Germany from October 8 to 10, 2013. It covers recent developments in the materials and the joints used in modern timber structures. Regarding basic wooden materials, the contributions highlight the widened spectrum of products comprising cross-laminated timber, glulam and LVL from hardwoods and block glued elements. Timber concrete compounds, cement bonded wood composites and innovative light-weight constructions represent increasingly employed alternatives for floors, bridges and facades. With regard to jointing technologies, considerable advan...
"Determination of the strength parameters needed to determine the load-carrying capacity of a single dowel-type fastener and on the load distribution among fasteners in a group as well as methods to avoid brittle failure modes in the timber around the fastener or group of fasteners. Also ease of use has been addressed. The design of carpentry joints is dealt with, too, as such connections now can take advantage of the precision of modern wood working." -- introducció.

Joints and shear walls of buildings made from dowel-laminated timber were experimentally investigated and assessed. Based on cyclic tests on shear walls, a nonlinear dynamic building model was developed. The developed model served to evaluate the seismic behaviour of buildings made from dowel-laminated timber and to derive a preliminary behaviour factor q required for seismic design of this building typology.
Dieses Werk ist ein umfassendes Lehrbuch für den Ingenieurholzbau und vertieft das Verständnis der Grunddlagen der Bemessungsegeln der Eurocode 5. Das vorliegende Buch ist eine aktualisierte und erweiterte Ausgabe der STEP-Reihe und richtet sich an Studierende, Tragwerksplaner und weiter Praktiker des Holzbaus.
