2. 1. Moisture Induced Stress Perpendicular to Grain in Timber Structures

   Author : Martin Häglund; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wood.; timber; perpendicular to grain; load combination factor; tensile stress; mechano-sorption; Moisture induced eigen-stress; varying moisture content;

   Abstract : Timber structures and wooden element are in general affected by moisture and moisture variation in different ways. Their hygroscopic properties result in adsorption of water when wetted and in desorption when dried. READ MORE

4. 2. Perpendicular to grain fracture analysis of wooden structural elements - Models and applications

   Author : Henrik Danielsson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fracture mechanics; cohesive zone modeling; Weibull theory; wood; glulam; orthotropy; heterogeneity; hole; dowel; asymmetric loading;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns experimental and theoretical work regarding perpendicular to grain fracture in wooden structural elements. The experimental part concerns strength tests of glulam beams with a hole. READ MORE

5. 3. Benefits of strengthening timber with fibre-reinforced polymers

   Author : Alann André; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental results; Carbon; Timber; Tension perpendicular to the grain; Ductility; Flax; Reinforcement; Compression failure parallel to the grain; Kinkband; Composite materials; Numerical model; Analytical model; FRP;

   Abstract : As a material, timber offers a wide range of alternatives in terms of structural applications. The natural defects present in timber are, however, the source of large variations in mechanical properties. READ MORE

6. 4. Experimental characterization and numerical modeling of compression perpendicular to the grain in wood and cross-laminated timber

   Author : Shaheda T. Akter; Thomas K. Bader; Erik Serrano; Jan Oscarsson; Reinhard Brandner; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rolling shear; biaxial testing; stress combination; RT-plane; moisture influence; rolling shear creep; digital image correlation; strain field; CLT connection; rotational stiffness; rullskjuvning; biaxiell undersökning; spänningskombination; RT-plan; fuktpåverkan; krypning vid rullskjuving; digital bildkorrelation; töjningsfält; KLTanslutning; rotationsstyvhet; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

   Abstract : Compression perpendicular to the grain (CPG) of wood is a typical loading situation in timber structures. It has been an extensively studied research topic for decades, due to the highly ductile behavior of wood under such loading, the large variations in mechanical properties, and the relevance of these properties in structural design.

7. 5. Experimental investigations into deformations resulting from stresses perpendicular to grain in Swedish whitewood and redwood in respect of the dimensioning of concrete formwork

   Author : Gunnar Backsell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Deformations resulting from stresses perpendicular to grain in concrete formwork involving wooden shoring members have given rise to a number of problems on building sites. No quantitative relations between stresses perpendicular to grain and deformations have as yet been forthcoming. READ MORE
