The grouted mortise-tenon joint, invented as the connection between large prefabricated elements, is most important component in underground structures. This paper conducts analysis of load-carrying capacity performance and failure mode with 1 : prototype test key working direction different double joint types for metro station. resistance moment developed used to analyze bending bearing charac...

Mortise-and-tenon joints reinforced with split wedges and dowels are traditional joint systems that have been the mainstay of vernacular houses for Acehnese people to endure earthquakes centuries. This is no longer used now because construction uses conventional rigid frame techniques. The essential transformation this connection in product urgently needed Aceh many conventionally landed experi...

Structural tests were conducted to determine the strength and deflection characteristics of an 8 by 10 foot light-timber barn frame constructed with 3.5-inch square Douglas-fir members and round mortise and tenon joints. Structural analyses of the frame were also conducted using finite element methods and predicted deflections compared with test values. Results of the tests indicated that the r...

Introduction: Amalgam, which can be applied with or without dowel, is one of the commonly used restorative materials for core restoration in pulpless teeth. The current study aimed to compare the shear strength of amalgam cores with and without dowel. Methods: A total number of 20 recently extracted mandibular premolars were assigned to two groups of 10 equal s...

To study the aseismic performance after reinforcement of mortise-tenon joints folk houses with traditional Chuan-Dou style wood structure and their steel plate, test specimens joints—two for Tou joints, two Ban dovetail joints—were fabricated out hemlock, plates were utilized to reinforce one joint each type on middle part joint. By carrying pseudo-static tests building ABAQUS numerical model; ...
