Effects of the number of layers and the number and typology of finger joints were studied
relative to the bending behavior of glulam beam made of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)
laminates. The investigated parameters of glulam beams with constant overall dimensions
(width× depth× length) of 90 mm× 90 mm× 1710 mm were lamination thickness (18 mm or
30 mm), the distance of the finger joints (200, 400, and 600 mm), and finger direction
(horizontal and vertical). A total of 14 experimental samples were produced (12 different …
