A comparative study of compression behaviors of cross-laminated timber and glued-laminated timber columns

Construction and Building Materials, 2019
Abstract This work investigated the different axial compression behaviors of cross-laminated timber columns (CLTCs) and control glued-laminated timber columns (GLTCs). The average compression modulus of elasticity (MOE) and strength values of the CLTCs were lower than those of the control GLTCs and appeared to be dependent on the area ratio in the ...

Assessing the integrity of glued-laminated timber elements

Construction and Building Materials, 2015
Abstract Glued-laminated timber (Glulam) – allowing for large span and curved elements to be produced – had revolutionized the way timber could be used in structural applications. As the importance of assessing large timber structures is growing, so is the interest of the professional community in assessment methods for existing timber structures ...

Laminating Effects in Glued-Laminated Timber Beams

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1995
Existing lamination and beam test results were analytically reviewed to quantify the laminating effect for European and North American glued-laminated (glulam) timber. The laminating effect is defined as the increase in strength of lumber laminations when bonded in a glulam beam compared with their strength when tested by standard test procedures ...

Ductile Design of Glued-Laminated Timber Beams

Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2009
Ductility is a fundamental component in the design of robust structures. For timber structures, the unfavorable material characteristics pose particular problems to its realization. Two approaches for improving the post-elastic behavior of glued-laminated timber beams have been investigated by testing and numerical analysis.

Glued laminated timber and steel beams

Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology, 2018
Purpose This paper aims to compare glued laminated timber and steel beams with respect to structural design, manufacturing and assembly costs and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents structural design requirements in conformance with EN 1993: Eurocode 5 and Eurocode 3.

Steel‐Reinforced Glued Laminated Timber

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1989
A possible candidate for replacement of tension laminations in glulam beams is examined. The replacement is a composite of concrete-reinforcing steel embedded in oriented flakeboard. Pullout tests were used to select the best of three possible furnishes for the composite. After this selection, 2 in. × 6 in.

EPI for Glued Laminated Timber

2014
Emulsion Polymer isocyanate adhesive (EPI) is a two component adhesive system which combines an emulsion component and an isocyanate functional cross-linking component. This combination gives glue line performance with the benefits from both thermoplastic and thermosetting adhesive systems. The glue line is cold curing, has high flexibility, low creep,
