This paper discusses the design principles of timber connections for ductility with focus on
laterally-loaded dowel-type fasteners. Timber connections are critical components of timber …

Use of timber as a construction material has entered a period of renaissance since the
development of high-performance engineered wood products, enabling larger and taller …

This study aims to characterize the axial monotonic and cyclic tensile behavior of bolted
steel connections to laminated timber and bamboo, using slotted-in steel plates, and to …

Recent studies highlight the potential impact of earthquakes on cultural heritage sites and
monuments, which in turn yield significant adverse impacts on economies, politics, and …

Bolted steel to laminated composite bio-based material connections are commonly used in
truss systems. The aim of this study is to provide a more rational understanding of their …

Engineered timber elements are gaining wide acceptance in construction with the increased
practice of mass timber structures. The design of moment resistance connection is a …

Laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) has become increasingly popular in recent years
attributed to its superior mechanical properties compared to wood. The nailed LBL-to-LBL …

Due to the low embodied carbon and renewable features, wood is becoming increasingly
popular in structural engineering. Connections have always been a critical design part …

The multiple shear connection with slotted-in steel plates and dowel-type fasteners is a very
efficient timber joint for large timber cross sections. It is used in practice, mainly due to its …

Laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) nailed connection made with LBL main member and
sandwiched by LBL side members is introduced, which plays an essential role in the safe …
