Bending Performance of Prestressed Continuous Glulam Beams

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
The limited transferring moment capability of Glulam (glued laminated wood) joints results in insufficient joint stiffness. Therefore, most of the connections are hinged joints.

Study on flexural performance of prestressed glulam continuous beams under control influence

Journal of Wood Science, 2021
Traditional glulam beam connection mode has a weak ability to transfer bending moment, leading to insufficient joint stiffness and mostly in the form of simply supported beams.

GLULAM BEAMS WITH HOLES

Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek-e-GFOS, 2014
This paper provides a systematic review of research on glued laminated timber beams with circular and rectangular openings. Experiments on girders with unreinforced openings varied several parameters, including the girder span and shape, opening position and shape, and the relationship between the stress state near the opening and the ratio of opening ...

Multi‐variate seismic fragility assessment of CLT coupled wall systems

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 2100-2122, November 2023., 2023
The cross‐laminated timber coupled wall (CLT‐CW) system, a recently proposed timber‐based structural system, has limited understanding of its seismic performance. The existing research in probabilistic seismic fragility assessment (PSFA) of CLT buildings reveals gap, particularly regarding comprehensive evaluation of CLT‐CW systems and the impact of ...

RELIABILITY OF GLULAM BEAMS SUBJECTED TO BENDING

Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek-e-GFOS, 2016
This paper presents probabilistic reliability analyses of glulam beams by using level I semiprobabilistic procedure according to Eurocode standards and level II first-order reliability method. The analyses were performed for normal design situations on two groups of girders: roof and ceiling girders.
