      [Abstract] This paper summarizes test results of an experimental study on threaded steel rods epoxied into structural hardwood members. Two test campaigns were carried out. In the first one 36 test specimens of Tali ...
    • Joints with bars glued-in softwood laminated timber subjected to climatic cycles 

      Otero-Chans, Dolores; Estévez-Cimadevila, Javier; Martín-Gutiérrez, Emilio (Elsevier, 2018)
      The effect of climatic cycles (extreme temperatures and humidity) on the performance of joints made with threaded steel rods glued by two-component epoxy adhesive in softwood glulam timber is studied. Short-term tests have ...
    • Systems that improve the behaviour of joints made using glued-in rods 

      Otero-Chans, Dolores; Estévez-Cimadevila, Javier; Martín-Gutiérrez, Emilio; Suárez-Riestra, Félix (Springer, 2019)
      Joints made using glued-in rods have been the subject of many numerical and experimental studies. The joints most widely used are those known as cylindrical joints, i.e., joints made using cylindrical rods of constant ...
