Reversed Cyclically Loaded Dowel-Type Fasteners
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In contrast to nailed connections, little research has been done on bolted connections using a reversed cyclic loading scheme, although cyclic loading provides important information about energy absorption and damping properties, which is essential when analyzing seismic performance. Dowrick (1986) noted that the hysteretic characteristics for the primary connection of a subassembly govern its cyclic behavior. If the hysteretic behavior of timber joints is determined, the behavior of timber structures and structural systems can be characterized (Foliente and Zacher 1994).

Unidirectionally, Laterally Loaded Dowel-Type Fasteners Multiple-Bolt Joints
For many years U.S. design codes modeled the design values of a multiple-bolt joint as the design value of a single-bolt connection multiplied by the number of bolts. The provisions were based on research conducted by Trayer (1932) who observed an equal distribution of load among bolts. This was despite the fact that research conducted as early as in the late 19 century suggested an uneven load...
متن کاملLoad-carrying behaviour of steel-to-timber dowel connections
This paper details tests on steel-wood-steel connections with thin dowels carried out at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Connections configurations were selected in such a way that the influence of the main parameters such as dowel slenderness ratio, dowel strength, fastener spacing and end distance and the number of dowels could be studied. An important issue of the pa...
متن کاملSelf-tapping Screws as Reinforcement Perpendicular to the Grain in Timber Connections
The use of self-tapping screws with continuous threads as a reinforcement to avoid splitting of members in connections with dowel-type fasteners was studied in two projects carried out at the Universities of Nottingham and Karlsruhe. The reinforced specimens showed a very ductile failure mode whereas the non-reinforced specimens failed in a brittle way. Although the reinforced specimens also sh...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of Dowel in PCC Pavement of Roads using ABAQUS Finite Element Software
In Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement of the roads, dowels bar transfers vehicle loading to the unloaded slab. Load Transfer Efficiency (LTE) is used to evaluate dowel bars in PCC pavement. This parameter is defined as the vertical displacement ratio of the loaded slab versus the unloaded slab. In this study, the impact of effective factors (friction coefficient between dowel and concrete ...
متن کاملEffect of a ferrule and increased clinical crown length on the in vitro fracture resistance of premolars restored using two dowel-and-core systems.
This study investigated the effect of a crown-lengthening ferrule on the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with two dowel-core systems. Thirty-two extracted mandibular first premolars were sectioned perpendicular to the long axis at a point 1.0 mm occlusal to the buccal cementoenamel junction. Following endodontic treatment, the teeth were randomly assigned to four gr...
