Field tests of a timber queen-post truss and numerical analysis
In-situ cyclic tests on an existing traditional timber truss were performed. The main goal of the tests was to evaluate the overall behavior of the timber truss under symmetric and non-symmetric loading. Moreover, the influence of the location of point loads application, without and with eccentricity relatively to joints, was assessed. The carrying tests were preceded by a visual and non-destructive inspection aiming to collect geometric data and to assess the decay level. The field tests results of a queen-post truss are presented and analyzed. A numerical model was developed to reproduce the test results. ; Authors would like to acknowledge the cooperation of Adico industry (Arch. Luis Dias and Fernando) and Jose Manuel in the experimental campaign.The first author gratefully acknowledges the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, for his PhD grant SFRH/BD/18515/2004. The research described in this paper was conducted with financial support of the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (POCI/ECM/56552/2004).This work has been carried out with a partial financial contribution of the Italian Earthquake Engineering Laboratory Network (RELUIS), within the research program carried out for the Italian Agency for Emergency Management.
