Connections with metal dowel-type fasteners are important details in timber construction,
connecting single members and elements to larger structures. The load-carrying capacity …

Notches are details that significantly reduce the load-carrying capacity of beams made of
timber. The amount of reduction was the subject of investigation in numerous studies from …

Reliability and structural safety are key aspects in the design of timber structures. Notches at
the support considerably reduce the load-carrying capacity of glued laminated (glulam) …

This study investigates the impact of various notch corner shapes on the load-bearing
capacity of timber components of timber chocks as one of standing support systems in …

The investigation of the failure mechanism of the fracture mode I and II and the mixed mode
of New Zealand Radiata Pine timber and of Radiata Pine Laminated Veneer Lumber is …

This study provides detailed data on the quasi-brittle behaviour of two softwood species, the
Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster.) and the Spruce (Picea abies.), by using R-curves. The …

End-notched timber beams can have a significant decrease in load-carrying capacity as a
consequence of stress concentration due to height reduction at the supports. To prevent …

Connections are important details in timber construction, connecting single members and
elements to larger structures. The design of connections is regulated by structural standards …

Cette thèse s' effectue au sein de l'université de Bordeaux. Ce projet concerne la
construction en bois et en particulier la compréhension des phénomènes à l'origine des …
