Glulam beams strengthened with pre-stressed basalt fibres
… sought after. Engineered timber products such as glulam have managed to increase these properties even more with stronger and stiffer material. In recent years new ways have emerged that enhance these properties even further by strengthening it with materials that have more tensile strength and …

Detection and assessment of wood decay – glulam beams and wooden utility poles
… and ultrasonic inspection methods on wooden glulam beams and utility poles. All beams and poles examined where composed of Douglas-fir. The report begins with a description of the structure of trees, the mechanical behavior of wood subjected to rot, and current utility pole inspection …

Continuum Damage Mechanics to Model Glulam Beams Reinforced with Glued-In Steel Cables
… To validate the model, experimental tests on glulam beams internally reinforced with steel cables were conducted. The beams had varying diameters of steel cables (3mm, 5mm and 8mm) to investigate the effect of the diameter of the cables on the strength of the beams. The results were compared …

Experimental investigation of a novel finite element model for Southern pine glulam beams
Glued-laminated wood (Glulam) is a versatile material manufactured by gluing two or more layers of wood together with the grain of all laminae running parallel to each other. Glulam beams of many sizes, shapes, and thicknesses can be made. Innovative load-carrying structures such as lattice domes, …

The strength of glulam beams with holes - A probabilistic fracture mechanics method and experimental tests
… tests and methods for strength analysis of glulam beams with holes. Test results and methods for strength analysis available in literature are compiled and discussed. The methods considered comprise both code strength design methods and more general methods for strength analysis. New …

Geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis of a glulam timber dome
… elements to model the components of a dome (beams, purlins, connections, and tension ring), the specification of boundary conditions, the specification of material properties, the determination of a sufficiently accurate mesh, the determination of design loads and the specification of load …

Background for finite element analysis and experimental testing of glued-laminated space beams
… and one curved Southern Pine glued-laminated beams are subjected to bending, bending and compression, and biaxial bending. The beams are tested at service loads and only one beam is loaded to failure. The analysis is performed by using the finite element program ABAQUS. The 3-D beam finite …
