Rotational Behavior of Bolted Beam-to-Column Connections with Locally Cross-Laminated Glulam
This paper summarizes the results of an experimental study on the rotational behavior of bolted beam-to-column glulam connections reinforced using locally cross-laminated glulam members. Twenty-two full-scale connection specimens were tested through monotonic and reversed cyclic loading, from which the moment / rotational angle relationships were established. The results indicated that the cross-laminated technique leads to a more ductile failure mode with cross-aligned inner layers of laminas fractured, in contrast to the perpendicular-to-wood-grain tensile failure of unreinforced connections. The connection maximum moment was found to increase by 52% and 46% under monotonic and cyclic loading, respectively; moreover, the deformability ratio evaluated on the basis of the rotation angles corresponding to the yielding and maximum moments of the connections was increased by 94%. Locally cross-laminated connections were also found to dissipate more energy (25%) than unreinforced connections. A comparison of the cross-laminated technique with self-tapping screws indicated that the respective reinforcing effects were comparable with that of the screws being slightly higher. Because the locally cross-laminated technique is readily incorporated into the production of cross-laminated timber products, it may have broad applications in heavy timber-bolted connections.
