This paper reports a finite-element-based study of the reduction, using glued-in rods, of the perpendicular-to-grain stresses in the apex zone of curved beams in glulam structural timber members. Currently, the design of this type of elements is conducted using simplifying assumptions about the perpendicular-to-grain stress distribution in the apex zone, which start out from the calculation of the...
The EC-5 is the European Structural Standard which develops the design of timber structures. One of its principal aims is to give the engineers the rules to design the connections that are used in these kind of structures. Dowel-type fasteners are one of the most extended kind of joints that can appear, and they work in single or in double shear. The focus of this research is to study the design stresses...
