A component method for moment-resistant glulam beam-column connections with glued-in steel rods

摘要

This paper presents an analytical method of the determination of the moment resistance, initial stiffness and the rotation capacity of glulam beam-column connections with glued-in rods. The methodology is based on the component method and is implemented using appropriate mechanical models. As a simplified component of the steel box sections, the substitute T-stub in the model is well verified by the experimental results, whether with or without the transverse web stiffeners. On the basis of the mechanical properties of the individual components such as initial stiffness, load resistance and a further force-deformation relationship, the moment-rotation curves of the entire joint can be obtained. The proposed model is evaluated against the experimental results, which shows good agreement between the two. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
