Experimental investigation of timber beams with splice and scarf joints
Highlights Joints, used in historical objects, are now applied in strengthening or repairs. Changes in joint geometry may influence the levels of load-bearing capacity and stiffness. The obtained load-bearing in bending was about one-third compared to the continuous beam. The obtained stiffness was about one-half compared to the continuous beam.
Abstract The paper presents a description and results of the investigation on the static work of selected splice and scarf joints. Joints, used in historical structures, are now applied mostly in strengthening or repairs of these objects. In the experimental part beams with different joint types were subjected to bending tests. As a result, load–displacement plots, load-bearing capacities and stiffness levels were obtained and compared with the reference continuous beam. In addition, a numerical analysis was performed to compare the stiffness of the beams with different joints. Analysis of the results, conclusions and some further research directions are presented.
