Highlights Evaluated effects of two brown rot fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum and Rhodonia placenta) on performance of laterally loaded connections. T-shaped connection assemblies modelling floor-to-wall connections in buildings were inoculated with fungi for up to 40 weeks. Evaluated capacity, stiffness, energy dissipation, and ductility of connection assemblies through quasi-static cyclic connection tests. Load carrying capacity and energy dissipating capacity were the most adversely affected of all the parameters evaluated.
Abstract The effects of brown rot decay fungi on mechanical properties of CLT connection assemblies were investigated. CLT connections evaluated were assembled with code approved angle bracket connectors and modelled as floor-to-wall systems in mass timber buildings. Physical changes, mass loss and quasi-static cyclic tests were used to assess the performance of connection assemblies up to 40 weeks after fungal inoculation. Peak load, stiffness, energy dissipation and ductility of connections were characterized based on force–displacement data generated from the destructive test of connections. Assemblies experienced up to 57 % loss in load carrying capacity and 90 % loss in energy dissipating capacity of the connections after 40 weeks of fungal exposure. Connection stiffness was only slightly impacted over this period but wetting and redrying caused significant degradation of connection ductility.
