Análisis experimental de las barras de madera laminada con sección tubular utilizadas en la construcción de una malla espacial

Abstract

The construction of a spatial grid using stackable modules of glued-laminated timber bars with box section has provided the germ for an experimental approach of the behaviour of these types of bars. The paper presents the results of experimental campaign, both prior to the construction of the structure, such as real bars subsequent trials. Both tension tests and compression tests using bars with different slenderness have been conducted. The results show the interest of the proposed solutions and the feasibility of its use in this type of structure.
