Experimental investigation on the behavior of glued-in rod joints in timber beams subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading

Glued-in rod connections for timber beams are increasingly being used, as they offer high strength and stiffness and a better appearance in comparison with traditional mechanical connections. First, a campaign of experimental tests on glued-in threaded steel rod joints subjected to monotonic bending moments was carried out, checking the effect of a confining system for the bars (transversal screws) and the different arrangement of the rods, or...
