Reinforced Round Timber Joints under Static and Cyclic Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aim of this article is in presentation of results of static and cyclic tests of round timber bolted joints with inserted steel plates. At first, timber specimens were tested without reinforcement. Based on static tests results, mechanical reinforcement methods were proposed and tested: using modified washers and boost with screws. Rate of improvement in tensile strength was established for used reinforcement method. Static tests in tension were carried out on pressure machine EU 100 in laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering VŠB-TU Ostrava. Round timber joints multi cyclical dynamic (fatigue) tests in tension were made in laboratory of ITAM AS CR Prague and in TRI Žilina.
