1. 1. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Musaab Mahjoub; [2021]
   Keywords : Timber joints; Slotted-in steel plate connections; Python scripting; FEM; Abaqus.;

   Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE

3. 2. Glass-fibre reinforcement on steel to timber connections. : A parametric study through FEM modelling on double-shear single-dowelled connections.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Ramón Merlo García; [2017]
   Keywords : Timber connection; Glass-fibre reinforcement; Parametric study; Finite element analysis.;

   Abstract : In a context where timber is gaining popularity as a building material and glass-fibre reinforced composites (GFRC) are becoming more accessible in a wide variety of formats, it is considered appropriate to reconsider the combination of these two materials. Additionally, given the increasing use of laminated timber elements where stiffness and strength are better controlled, attention is drawn back to the connection between elements. READ MORE
