Abstract
The performance of timber structures is greatly influenced by the capacity of the connections, in terms of both strength and stiffness, as well as ductility. Reliable estimations of the structural behaviour of timber buildings is possible through a full understanding of the joint behaviour. At present there is not a standard method that allows to identify the mechanical behaviour of timber connections. To fill this gap, in this paper, a procedure for the classification in terms of strength and stiffness of beam-to-column joints in timber structures is presented. The method is inspired to that one related to steel connections according to Eurocode 3. Then, with reference to a number of experimental studies available in the scientific literature on several timber beam-to-column joints, the proposed classification method is applied on typical configurations, evidencing that common joints can be classified as pinned or semi-rigid.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
