Connection of wooden construction members using steel and glass-reinforced plastic rods pasted in along grain

Subject of inquiry: adhesive joint of wooden members with rods of various materials when working in share. The aim of the work is to establish mechanisms of stressed-strained condition of adhesive joint of rod with wood depending upon the joint geometrical parameters, upon strength characteristics of the materials in use and upon the development on this basis of butt joints made of various materials. Mathematical model has been developed describing stressed-strained condition of wood - rod adhesive joint taking into account physico-mechanical characteristics of the materials in use including their creeping that allow to make butt joints with controlled distribution of stresses along the pasted in rod length. Procedure of revealing optimal constructive solutions has been elaborated in order to create joints with the given properties; new experimental data on the usage of glass-reinforced plastic rods in joints has been obtained; practical design technique has been developed. The research materials have been utilized when constructing and redesigning objects within Novosibirsk, Omsk and Kemerovo regionsAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
