Abstract Due to the strong demand for wood, and need reduce carbon footprint in construction, fast-growing low-graded planted species like poplar are promising wood supply chain context of engineered products, EWPs. Finger joints constitute a key technology manufacture long structural elements Thus, evaluation mechanical properties finger is important when designing these members. This paper sh...

To promote the development of timber–steel composite (TSC) structures, this paper proposes a TSC I-beam with an as webs, covered timber board on its upper and lower surfaces bolted together; effect varying ratio thickness to bending performance was investigated. Considering same total height beam cross-section variation height, three groups six specimens were designed fabricated carry out load ...

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the use of steel bars bonded into glulam timber beams with epoxy resins in order to provide moment-resisting joints between glulam beams and steel supports. The objective of this research was to provide information about the bending and shear strength of such connections. Past research has investigated the use of steel rods epoxy bonded in...
