A new bamboo scrimber-filled steel tube (BSFST) structure consisting of a steel tube with
bamboo scrimber is presented. The proposed structure can be used as an alternative to …

Glue-line tests provide the shear resistance and failure mode of samples extracted from
laminated timber products. Several papers questioned the practical use of such tests …

The dimensions, particularly the depths, of glued laminated timber (GLT) beams are
continuously increasing to realize, eg, wide-span hall constructions or flexible office …

The numerical simulation of four-point bending tests on glued laminated timber (GLT) beams
requires an adequate description of the material behavior and of relevant failure …

As a quasi-brittle material, bamboo scrimber exhibits size effect behaviour. In this study, we
used the boundary effect model to conduct a three-point bending transverse fracture test on …

Abstract End-Notched Flexure (ENF) and Compact Shear (CS) tests were performed on
Australian Radiata Pine to quantify Mode II fracture properties in wood. Capabilities and …

Progressive collapse can be triggered by impact loading from vehicles or other objects and
propagated by impact loading from falling debris. Therefore, the correct modeling of impact …

Nowadays, the impact of knots on the failure behaviour of glued laminated timber (GLT)
beams is considered by subjecting the single lamellas to a strength grading process, where …

When wood is split or cut along the grain, a reduction in tensile stiffness has been observed.
The averaged mechanical properties of wood samples, veneers or splinters therefore …

A glued‐laminated timber section with mixed‐grade laminae could make an efficient use of
material strength and reduce the cost. A 4‐point bending test was conducted on a total of 18 …
