Propose Alternative Design Criteria for Dowel Type Joint with CLT

Abstract

The load carrying capacity of dowel type joint in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) was derived based on the Johansen's yield model. The steel plate inserted drift pin joint with CLT (5 layered; thickness of laminae were same in one CLT, all of laminae were orthogonally arranged) was chosen as the specimen. Stiffness and nonlinear load - deformation relationships were calculated by numerical analysis using Rigid Body Spring Model (RBSM). Estimation showed the good agreement with the tensile test results on the joints. © RILEM 2014.
