A Review of Connections for Glulam Timber
The use of timber as structural member have come under serious review and study recently as good quality logs are alarmingly becoming scarce besides the chronic problems of traditional sawn timber. Many researches regarding the use of timber are needed to strengthen or repair old timber structures as well as to improve the mechanical properties of new timber structures. Connection is one of the important parts in wood-based products. It can help the structure to increase their strength performance. A detailed and proper connection must be designed properly in order to make sure that the structure can transfer design loads to and from a structural glulam without causing localized stress concentrations that can cause any failure at the joint. This paper reviewed about the performance of glulam with connection, glulam as a replacement of solid timber since it have been proved by some researchers that it give better strength compared to solid timber and the best connection type that can be used to strengthen the structural glulam member.
