Let´s talk about the exam from 2019-10-26

 Timber/glulam (from first lecture)
Ø Usually rectangular cross sections
Ø More or less elastic behaviour
Ø Relatively simple joints
Ø Deformation in joints
Ø Easy to manufacture and assembly
Ø Durability – get moldy and rots
Ø Good heat insulator
Ø Anisotropic material
- variation of strength and stiffness in relation to the grain
- water uptake and dimensional changes varies with the grain direction
How is the loads transferred from one section to the other?
Ø Inhomogeneous – large variation of material properties
Beam to welds to endplates to bolts to …..
Ø Hygroscopic – swells and shrinks with climatic changes
Ø Time dependent properties
3 – strength decrease, deformations increase 4

 In general: Avoid making the connection the weakest link

Keep the distance! Enough spacing

between nails/screws in a connection
to avoid cracks in between
Cross section class?
What failure mode?
Interaction N+M
Avoid development of internal stresses perpendicular
to the direction of the grains due to shrinking

Avoid tension perpendicular to the direction of the grains
