Experimental Investigation of Group Action Factor for Bolted Wood Connections
… offset yield and capacity of single-shear bolted wood connections loaded parallel to grain. The single and multiple-bolt connections tested represent common connection geometries used in wood construction in the United States. The results of both monotonic and cyclic loading of connections are …

Timber joinery in modern construction: Mechanical behavior of wood-wood connections
… and East Asia. The use of joinery as structural connections faded with the development of metallic screws and nails. Two recent developments offer the opportunity to revive this historic timber connection type: 1) the increasing desire to reduce embodied carbon in buildings by replacing more …

Strength characterization of wood to wood connections using stress field analysis
… option. However, current practice favors steel connections for wood structures. Wood to wood connections offer a solution to the minimization of steel connections. While some wood-only connections are referenced in timber codes, small modifications to these designs as well as a multitude of …

An investigation of FRP reinforced glulam bolted connections
Wood is often limited in structural applications to relatively small structures due to its lack of homogeneity and low strength compared to steel and concrete. Wood can become a more versatile material if used with Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) to form a composite. This thesis presents the …

Capacity Resistance and Performance of Single-Shear Bolted and Nailed Connections: An Experimental Investigation
… the behavior of single-shear, laterally-loaded connections when loaded up to and beyond capacity (i.e., maximum resistance). Specimens included a wide array of connection configurations common in wood construction. All connections were tested monotonically in tension under …

Examination of the Lateral Resistance of Cross-Laminated Timber in Panel-Panel Connections
… Little research has focused on non-proprietary connections, including nails, bolts and lag screws. The behavior of CLT full-scale wall panels is dependent upon the individual connection properties including the panel-panel connections between adjoining CLT panels within the wall. The purpose of …

Investigation of the Effects of Spacing between Bolts in a Row in a Single-Shear Timber Connection Subjected to Reverse Cyclic Loading
… in Earthquake Engineering (CUREE) for testing woodframe structures. The same connection configurations were also subjected to monotonic loading for an additional forty-five tests. Results of this research can be used to evaluate the current design recommendation presented in the National Design …

An Experimental Investigation of Structural Composite Lumber Loaded by a Dowel in Perpendicular to Grain Orientation at Yield and Capacity
… trends included failure by splitting for all connections at low loaded edge distances, and variable span:depth ratios generally having a negligible effect on both connection and model performance. In most cases, the general dowel equations were more accurate than the two fracture models, …

Investigation of Single and Two Bolt Connections Perpendicular to Grain in Laminated Veneer Lumber
… of the load resistance factor design (LRFD) of connections. The results obtained from the experimental testing of this research will provide information regarding the behavior of connections at conditions of capacity and yield, and a comparison between single and two bolted connections for …

Investigation of Through-Tenon Keys on the Tensile Strength of Mortise and Tenon Joints
… from the National Design Specification of Wood Construction (NDS), General Dowel Equations for Calculating Lateral Connection Values (TR-12), and engineering mechanics. Variables included joint species (white oak or Douglas-fir), protruding tenon length (four or 11 inches), and number of …
