Large-diameter single dowel joint: finite element modelling of a reinforced joint [PDF]

International Wood Products Journal, 2017
Finding new efficient connectors or improving existing ones are important issues in timber construction. This research investigates an innovative large-diameter dowel-type connection by using a finite elements model calibrated with experimental results. This connection is made of a large-diameter single dowel reinforced by means of a steel plate with a

High‐Resolution Regional Seismic Loss Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Using Component‐Level Fragility Models and Repair Cost Estimations

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 301-318, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...

Effect of the dowel length, dowel diameter, and adhesive consumption on bending moment capacity of heat-treated wood dowel joints

BioResources, 2019
This study applied response surface methodology for modeling and optimizing heat-treated wood dowel joints, the most used joint in furniture construction. The factors examined were dowel length, dowel diameter, and adhesive consumption. The bending moment capacity of the joints loaded in compression or tension were the responses.

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

The Alternating Surface Segmented Lap Joint: a Design for Thin Highly Loaded Joints [PDF]

, 1985
The combination of thin airfoil sections and high aerodynamic loads on many wind tunnel models presents a major problem for attachment of flap elements. Conventional methods of attaching fixed control elements such as lap and tongue-in-groove joints are ...

Development of All-Wood Connections with Plywood Flitch Plate and Oak Pegs [PDF]

, 2011
This paper proposes a new method for beam-beam connections, which include plywood as slot-in plates connected by oak pegs. A total of 96 specimens were fabricated for tests to explore the minimum required end distances and spacing between pegs parallel ...

Strip loading in reinforced concrete: Mechanical modeling and experimental validation

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 163-192, February 2026.
Abstract Strip loading of reinforced concrete is a common problem in engineering practice. The concrete compressive strength at the load introduction can be several times higher than the uniaxial concrete compressive strength, which can be attributed to geometrical and passive confining stresses caused by load dispersion and reinforcement, respectively.

The Influence of Different Wood Modifications on Pull-out Force of Rotary Welded Dowels

Drvna Industrija, 2023
The increasing use of modified wood justifies the intention to use it in joints made by rotary welding with dowels. Thermal modification, for example, increases the dimensional stability of wood by reducing its hygroscopicity and water absorption, but it
