Curved and cambered glulam beams

1994
In this second part of the test series, creep and long-term strength of curved and cambered glue- laminated timber beams are studied under cyclically varying humidity conditions. The beams are loaded in such a way that the failure is caused by tension perpendicular-to-grain. A total of 24 beams were loaded under long term loading.

Vibration responses of glulam beam-and-deck floors

Engineering Structures, 2018
Abstract Floor vibration serviceability problems can exist for floors constructed from low mass-to-stiffness engineered-wood products. This paper addresses responses of beam-and-deck floors constructed using glued-laminated-timber (glulam) products.

Properties of Bamboo–Wood Hybrid Glulam Beams

Forest Products Journal, 2012
ABSTRACT Bending and shear characteristics of bamboo–wood hybrid glulam (BWHG) beams were investigated to evaluate the possibility of using laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) as a lamstock for glulam beams in structural application. Moreover, two different resin types were also evaluated for bamboo–wood bond strength.

Lateral stability of continuous glulam beams

2011
This thesis presents the results of a theoretical and experimental study of the lateral buckling of straight beams of rectangular cross-section resting on columns, a type of structure commonly found in the roofing system of multi-bayed buildings. The structure is analyzed as a simply supported beam, uniformly loaded, restrained at one end against ...

FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF GLULAM BEAMS REINFORCED WITH CFRP RODS

2004
Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have been largely used in combination with masonry and concrete structural elements in the last decade. Recent applications showed that new advantages may be achieved also in the field of timber structures, even if at the moment a large use of steel elements is made.

Stresses in pitch-cambered glulam beams

2011
The stress distribution near the centerline apex of pitch-cambered glulam beams is analysed. The analysis is done with an orthotropic trapezoidal finite element utilizing the stiffness approach. The element is tested with various grid sizes against known solutions and shown to give an overall accuracy to within five percent.

Strengthening the Timber Glulam Beams with FRP Plates

2002
This article presents the results of the lab tests and numerical analyses done on the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Zagreb. The lab tests were done on real specimens of glulam timber beams of 3.9 m span. Tested were beams with stright and with radial arched intrados, and with double-pitched extrados.

Reliability of glulam beams exposed to fire

2012
This paper presents reliability analysis of a glulam load-bearing beam in a fire. Global fire safety concept of timber structure analysis is presented according to the recommendations from Eurocodes. Special attention was given to natural fire design with two different methods of parametric exposure which are given in Eurocode 1995-1-2.
