Investigations of quasi-static and fatigue failure in glued wooden joints subjected to tensile
shear loading are presented. Lap joints of beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) connected with …

Glulam beams connected with steel splints and bolts (GBSBs) are subjected to cyclic
reciprocating dynamic loads in practice, which eventually leads to damage accumulation …

There are gaps in our knowledge regarding temporal changes in wood stability and
mechanical properties in the context of wood durability. Energetic analyses have been …

The performance of plywood-sheathed shear walls is determined at the plywood-to-timber
joints. In joints with dowel-type fasteners, such as nails and screws, the fastener is fractured …

The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the fatigue behavior of
Japanese cypress as a result of compression. Repeated compression loading tests were …

The authors have previously studied the possibility of the use of industrial double-sided
adhesive tape as a method for jointing wooden panel to wooden framework. The …

To quantify the postpeak residual capacity and to gain insights into the load transfer
mechanism of a shear wall, nail connection tests were performed on salvaged connections …

The effect of scale ratio was investigated on a traditional dovetail post-beam joint with
dimensional analysis. The dimensionless parameters for moment (M) are modulus of …

To evaluate the mechanical durability of wood, it is necessary to evaluate the phenomenon
of fatigue progress with respect to the cumulative load process over time. Fatigue life …

This thesis involves the investigation of both static and fatigue performance of two different
longitudinal shear situations. The first being axially loaded threaded rods with small rod to …
