CLT Plates under Concentrated Loading – Experimental Identification of Crack Mod
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7811-5_63... [Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Georg Hochreiner, Josef Fussl, Josef Eberhardsteiner, Simon Aicher Since wood products for structural elements, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), have gained importance in the building sector, the need for appropriate and reliable design codes has become essential. For this reason, this work focuses on global failure mechanisms and the corresponding evolution of different crack modes in CLT plates, depending on geometric and/or material related influence quantities. In addition to standard evaluation methods, each specimen were cut into cubes (10/10/10 cm) ... |
