Timber joints are a key part of timber structures. Their reliable performance is a prerequisite to successful timber construction. The structural loadbearing behaviour of timber joints is mechanically complex and difficult to predict. Although numerical tools are currently available, these do not consider all anisotropic aspects of timber. However, to predict performance of a timber joint with useful accuracy a 3D material model need to be taken into account in the calculation of the global load-slip behaviour. The research reported in this thesis describes a newly developed 3D material model based on the concepts of continuum damage mechanics. Furthermore, it describes experiments on hardwood timber joints using dowels with different steel...
