Serviceability Design of Long-Span Timber Beams Considering Semi-Rigid Beam-Column Connections
… restraint provided by real beam-column connections. This simplification often results in overly conservative designs, inefficient material use, and underutilisation of structural capacity. Addressing this gap, this thesis investigates the influence of semi-rigid connection stiffness on …

Performance of snug tight bolts in moment end-plate connections
… snug tight ASTM A325 bolts in moment end-plate connections for use in single story buildings. Wind loading was deemed to be the critical loading on snug tight bolt, moment end-plate connections. A test loading sequence was established based on a statistical analysis of the 50-year wind loading …

Half-Lap Cross Laminated Timber Pegged Joints
… research investigates the shear yield load and stiffness of red oak (Quercus rubra) hardwood pegs in half-lap 3-ply Austrian spruce (Picea abies) and yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) CLT diaphragm connections. In addition to the use of Austrian spruce and yellow-poplar CLT, both 1 inch …

Performance of laminated veneer wood plates in decking systems
… of rigidity, ultrasonic transmission time, and connection stiffness. Analyses of variance has indicated that the mean strength properties of 3.2 and 2.5 mm thick veneers are significantly different for the parallel to grain direction but not significantly different for the perpendicular to grain …

The influence of semi-rigid connections on the non-linear behaviour of pallet rack and scaffold structures
… of framed structures have assumed that the connections between uprights and beams are either rigid or pinned. In reality all joints exhibit flexibility and can be considered as semi-rigid. The published work in this thesis provides some of the most extensive work on the effects of semi-rigid …

Lateral Torsional Buckling of Built-Up Beams
… ambiguity surrounding what constitutes a secure connection prompted a shift to a more conservative approach in the most recent version of the standard, where the LTB capacity is taken as the sum of the individual capacities of the plies. Within this context, the present thesis investigates the …
