This study investigated the effect of exposure to elevated temperature on the yield strength of single-shear nail connections when subjected to lateral loading. Solid sawn lumber and laminated veneer lumber were used as framing members and two different thicknesses of both oriented strand board and plywood were used as the sheathing members. The connection geometries evaluated were typical of t...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM There are few published studies analyzing the effects of different ferrule lengths of endodontically treated teeth in relationship to newly developed fiber-reinforced and zirconia dowel systems. PURPOSE This in vitro study compared the effect of 3 different ferrule lengths on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of crowned endodontically treated teeth restored wi...

This study investigated the bending moment resistance of T-type, two-pin dowel joints connected with Scotch pine (Pinus slyvestris), beech (Fagus orientalis), chestnut (Castanea sativa) and oak (Quercus petraea) reinforced basalt glass woven fabric. The tests was carried out to determine joints. As a result test, it determined that one layer two surfaces reinforce fiber fabrics increases mechan...

Abstract In timber structures, knowledge of the splitting capacity beams loaded perpendicular to grain by dowel-type connections is primordial importance since brittle failure can occur. present work, single- and double-dowel-type following different edged distance arrangements are experimentally investigated derive behaviour Eucalyptus globulus L., which a hardwood species increasing interest ...

This paper summarizes a series of studies on the interface of fiber reinforced polymer laminates externally bonded to concrete substrates, carried out in the Laboratory of Engineering for Maintenance Systems, Hokkaido University. Appropriate test methods and bond models for shear bond, tensile bond and cleavage bond (bond under dowel force) are shown. Finally, experimental results on shear bond...

Dowel action is a well-known phenomenon in shear-related problems within structural concrete. The tests previously reported the literature to evaluate this contribution reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement were conducted any initial activation of tensile reinforcement. This paper presents experimental results dowel tests, performed novel test setup. setup reflects more realisti...
