Construction andFor Buildingevaluation Materials only. (2015), 97: 34–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2015.05.089 Analysis and strengthening of carpentry joints Jorge M. Branco Assistant Professor ISISE, Dept. Civil Eng., University of Minho Guimarães, Portugal Thierry Descamps Assistant Professor URBAINE, Dept. Structural Mech. and Civil Eng., University of Mons Mons, Belgium 1. Introduction Joints play a major role in the structural behaviour of old timber frames [1]. Current standards mainly focus on modern dowel-type joints and usually provide little guidance (with the exception of German and Swiss NAs) to designers regarding traditional joints. With few exceptions, see e.g. [2], [3], [4], most of the research undertaken today is mainly focused on the reinforcement of dowel-type connections. When considering old carpentry joints, it is neither realistic nor useful to try to describe the behaviour of each and every type of joint. The discussion here is not an extra attempt to classify or compare joint configurations [5], [6], [7]. Despite the existence of some classification rules which define different types of carpentry joints, their applicability becomes difficult. This is due to the differences in the way joints are fashioned depending, on the geographical location and their age. In view of this, it is mandatory to check the relevance of the calculations as a first step. This first step, to, is mandatory. A limited number of carpentry joints, along with some calculation rules and possible strengthening techniques are presented here.

  • Analysis of Structural Timber Joints Made with Glass Fibre / Epoxy
    ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL TIMBER JOINTS MADE WITH GLASS FIBRE / EPOXY BRUNO MASSE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University's requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy JUNE 2003 COVENTRY UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT This study investigates the potential of using glass fibre and epoxy resin to join timber members of the same thickness in the same plane. A total of 64 full-scale wood/glass/epoxy adhesive joints made with unidirectional or bidirectional glass fibres were fabricated. Joints with the load applied parallel to the grain or applied at 90°, 60° and 30° to the grain were tested in static tension. Results of strength and stiffness were compared between joint configurations. The strength and stiffness of wood/glass/epoxy joints are mainly driven by the bond quality. The load capacity is governed by the shear strength of the timber, which appeared to be slightly affected by the grain orientation. Finite element analysis was used to model the joints and confirmed the non-uniform load transfer that occurs on adhesive joints such as wood/glass/epoxy joints. An internal bending effect occurring at the overlap was also identified in the FE analysis. The results derived from finite element models correlate well with experimental results obtained from the sample tests. Finally the fatigue resistance of wood/glass/epoxy joints was assessed. A total of 13 full-scale wood/glass/epoxy joints (with straight configuration) were tested in cyclic tension-tension at R = 0.1. The fatigue tests were carried out at a frequency of 0.33 Hz. Wood/glass/epoxy joints exhibit good fatigue resistance compared to other mechanical timber joints.

  • Paradoxical Territories of Traditional and Digital Crafts in Japanese Joinery
    Paradoxical Territories of Traditional and Digital Crafts in Japanese Joinery While one can argue that a certain traditional craft such as Japanese Joinery should remain adhered to its processes, materials and methods, others could see potential possibilities that might be explored through applying contemporary technological advancements such as digital fabrication and engineered timber. This can only leave us with more questions than answers; what are the advantages and the possibili- ties? Does technology offer a “one size fits all” solution to any building material, or are there profound limitations? Where do we draw the line between traditional and contemporary craftsmanship? INTRODUCTION AHMED K. ALI When Torashichi Sumiyoshi and Gengo Matsui wrote their 1989 book titled Wood Joints in Texas A&M University Classical Japanese Architecture, Computer Numerically Controlled technology (CNC) and digital fabrication methods as we know it today were still in its infancy. While Japanese join- ery has traditionally been reserved for solid heavy timber, the increased use of both CNC and engineered timber (CLT, Glulam, LVL,..etc) as a sustainable material and an alternative to concrete and steel gives rise to number of interesting questions. While one can argue that a certain traditional craft such as Japanese Joinery should remain adhered to its pro- cesses, materials and methods, others could see potential possibilities that might be explored through applying contemporary technological advancements such as digital fabrication and engineered

  • Analysis of Longitudinal Timber Beam Joints Loaded with Simple Bending
    sustainability Article Analysis of Longitudinal Timber Beam Joints Loaded with Simple Bending Kristyna Vavrusova 1,* , Antonin Lokaj 1 , David Mikolasek 1 and Oldrich Sucharda 2 1 Department of Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB—Technical University of Ostrava, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic; [email protected] (A.L.); [email protected] (D.M.) 2 Department of Building Materials and Diagnostics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB—Technical University of Ostrava, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +420-599-321-375 Received: 6 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 9 November 2020 Abstract: The joints in timber structures are often the decisive factor in determining the load-bearing capacity, rigidity, sustainability, and durability of timber structures. Compared with the fasteners used for steel and concrete structures, fasteners for timber structures generally have a lower load-bearing capacity and rigidity, with the exception of glued joints. Glued joints in timber structures constitute a diverse group of rigid joints which are distinguished by sudden failure when the joint’s load-bearing capacity is reached. In this contribution, the load-bearing capacity of a longitudinal joint for a beam under simple flexural stress is analyzed using glued, double-sided splices. Joints with double-sided splices and connecting screws were also tested to compare the load-bearing capacity and rigidity. A third series of tests was carried out on joints made using glued double-sided splices augmented with screws. The aim of this combined joint was to ensure greater ductility after the load-bearing capacity of the glued splice joint had been reached.
