Abstract
This paper presents the results of experimental investigations on six-layered, homogeneous glulam beams made of Italian short supply chain beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). At first, the beams were produced and mechanically characterized for bending, then, they were employed to realize timber-timber composite joints and tested under quasi-static monotonic loading. The test configurations were adopted to reproduce connections used in timber-to-timber composite structures for applications in new constructions. Outcomes in terms of connection stiffness, strength, static ductility and failure modes are presented and discussed. Moreover, the experimental stiffness were used to carry out analytical verification at the serviceability and ultimate limit states to extend the validity of the proposed screw and specimen’s configurations.
期刊介绍：
Materials and Structures, the flagship publication of the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), provides a unique international and interdisciplinary forum for new research findings on the performance of construction materials. A leader in cutting-edge research, the journal is dedicated to the publication of high quality papers examining the fundamental properties of building materials, their characterization and processing techniques, modeling, standardization of test methods, and the application of research results in building and civil engineering. Materials and Structures also publishes comprehensive reports prepared by the RILEM’s technical committees.
