The application of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) for strengthening timber structures has
proven its efficiency in enhancing load-bearing capacity and, in some cases, the stiffness of …

Dimensioning adhesively bonded joints remains a challenging task. Their diversity in
geometry and material (including combinations thereof), characteristic stress peaks, scatter …

This experimental study investigates cyclic performance of a timber-steel hybrid structural
system consisting of glulam frames and buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The BRBs are …

Engineered timber elements are gaining wide acceptance in construction with the increased
practice of mass timber structures. The design of moment resistance connection is a …

The performance and efficiency of any structure depend on the connections that join their
components; as such they constitute the most critical component. This is also true for timber …

The widespread availability of cross-laminated timber (CLT) provides opportunities to extend
the use of wood structures beyond low-rise residential construction. Glued-in rods (GiR) are …

Abstract Glued-in rods (GiR), which consist of rods glued into structural elements of wood, or
engineered wood products, share the manufacturing quality concerns associated to …

Numerical simulations and parametric studies of glued-in rods in cross-laminated timber
have been performed. The simulations were based on 3D finite element analysis, using a …

Abstract Glued-in-rods (GiR) represent a class of joints being used in timber engineering
that are mostly used to transfer axial loads in structural members with Glass Fibre …

Glued-in rods are an increasingly used technical solution for numerous structural
applications in timber engineering, and demonstrate the potential of adhesively bonded …
