DEVELOPMENT OF TIMBER MOMENT RESISTING JOINT WITH STEEL SIDED SCREWED JOINT PART 2 : A STUDY ON DETAIL AND DESIGN METHOD OF BEAM-TO-COLUMN JOINT

Abstract

We developed a timber semi-rigid frame construction system composed with coupled glulam members jointed by screws with steel side plate and high-tensile bolts. Firstly in this paper, we designed the interior and exterior beam to column joints and the frames consisting of the joints of beam end joint precedent yielding type. Secondly, we conducted the bending tests for the frames to confirm the characteristics of the failure behaviors and the estimability of their mechanical behaviors from single screwed joint properties.
