Pengembangan Sambungan Hubungan Join Balok-Kolom Kayu Dengan Ring-Modifikasi Dan Perkuatan-Paku

. The connection between the structural members, especially the beam-column joints provide a dominant contribution to the behavior of the building structure. The aim of this research is to study the behavior of strength and stiffness of timber connection with a bolt connection, which are the beam-column joints. In this study is developed a reinforcement connection model with the ring-modification and nail-strengthening (hereinafter referred to as the PRP connection) to improve the connection ductility. The scope of the study is the types of timber used such as Meranti (Shorea spp.), Rengas (Gluta spp.), and Keruing (Dipterocarpus spp.) with Specific Gravity ranged from 0.47 to 0.72. Experimental tests are performed in the laboratory using the monotonic loading type. The use of specimens are based on a standard test method for bolts connections in wood ASTM D5652-95. The use of ringmodification and nail-strengthening give a positive contribution to the test results, especially the connection strength and stiffness performance behavior of timber connections, i.e., the proportional limit load can be achieved the PRP connection ranged from 3.09 to 19.89% that increases higher than the standard connection (without reinforcement), ultimate limit loads that can be achieved the PRP connection from 3.47 to 28.94% which is higher compared to the standard connection. In general, the level of ductility can be achieved the PRP connection between 3.69 and 11.03% which is higher compared to the standard connection
