1. 1. 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

3. 2. Design Method for Strut-Beam Connection in Hinged Frames

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

   Author : Juan Cardenal; [2012]
   Keywords : ABAQUS; LEFM; failure modes; three-pin portal frames; shear stress; built-up haunches; framed joint; glulam; size effects; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Glulam is almost exclusively the chosen material of timber frame structures. Of those, three-hinged (three-pin) portal frames are incomparably the most common type. Being both statically determinate and stable against horizontal forces in its own plane offer both practical (basic constructive details) and economical benefits. READ MORE

4. 3. Modelling of strengthened connections for large span truss structures

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Peter Kobel; [2011]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Because of its large ratio between strength and weight timber is a material very suitable for large span structures. For large spans of more than about 30 m, usually truss structures are adopted. READ MORE
