The review starts by identifying the conditions for taking account of the semi‐rigid behaviour
of joints with dowel‐type fasteners, ie well‐defined load–displacement behaviour, no initial …

This paper identifies the fundamental factors that affect the performance of dowel‐type joints
between structural timber members. It considers methods that have been used to enhance …

This article presents an experimental study on the moment-resisting capacity and stiffness of
the proposed pre-stressed tube bolted connection. High-strength bolts with tubes were used …

■ This paper presents a review of methods which can be employed for the formation of

boulonnées simples et multiples renforcées de plaques de ferme sur un bois à fibres …

Bolted cross-lapped joints (BCLJs) are one of the basic jointing methods used in Japan and
European countries. There are, however, some problems in the design of BCLJs. With …

In this study two experimental series were carried out. In the first part the embedding
characteristics according to DIN EN 383 were investigated for solid wood, textile …
