Abstract
Inorganic-bonded bamboo composite (InorgBam) is a new engineered bamboo composite material made of bamboo fiber strips and magnesium oxysulfide (MOS) inorganic adhesive. With advantages of high strength, high stiffness, and excellent fire resistance, glued-in rod (GiR) connections serve as the primary connection form in modern engineered bamboo and wood structures. To study pull-out behavior of GiR in InorgBam, pull-out tests were conducted in two grain orientations: parallel- and perpendicular-to-grain. Effects of threaded rod grade, anchorage length, and edge distance on failure mode, pull-out load-carrying capacity, and ductility of GiR connections were analyzed. Results revealed that specimens exhibited four failure modes: shear failure of InorgBam around adhesive, bonding failure at InorgBam-adhesive interface, splitting failure and threaded rod yield. GiR specimens with insufficient edge distance exhibited characteristics of splitting failure parallel-to-grain. Therefore, it is recommended that the edge distance of the GiR connections in InorgBam be no less than six times the rod diameter (6d). GiR specimens perpendicular-to-grain demonstrated higher load-carrying capacity than those parallel-to-grain. For specimens without rod yield failure, load-carrying capacity increases linearly with increasing slenderness ratio of rod. The average bond strength of GiR specimens parallel- and perpendicular-to-grain is 6.55 MPa and 8.63 MPa, respectively. Finally, the bond stress-slip relationships of GiR connections in InorgBam were derived from test results according to existing bond stress-slip models, and a calculation formula for pull-out load-carrying capacity was then proposed for GiR connections in InorgBam.
