Composite joint of timber truss girders
Sažetak
In this paper the possibility of joining elements of timber truss girder with "built-in" connection will be explored. The joint will be based on glued-in steel rod, glass and/or carbon fiber-reinforced timber element and built-in steel tube which takes the tensile force. Fibre-reinforce textile will be implemented locally between the timber layers, in adhesion layer. Glue laminated timber elements will be laminated horizontally as opposed to the usual used vertical lamination. The study of this joint will be conducted experimentally and numerically. Experimental testing will be conducted on a somewhat smaller number of specimens with applied load at angle 0°, 45° and 90° to the grain and on the prototype of truss girder. Fields not explored by experimental laboratory testing , will be explored by examining the complex numerical models.
