Static and Dynamic Characterization of Energy-Absorbing Connections Used in Timber Assemblies Subjected to Blast Loads
This study presents the preliminary results of a research program investigating the application of energy-absorbing connections (EAC) in timber assemblies for the purpose of enhancing their energy dissipative capabilities when subjected to blast loading. Different configurations of potential EACs were designed and investigated experimentally under static and dynamic shock tube generated loading. Important blast design parameters pertaining to EACs, including yield strength, resistance curve shape, energy absorption capability and efficiency, were evaluated and quantified to assess viable and optimized EACs to be implemented into full-scale timber assemblies. An idealized model was proposed to define the load–displacement behaviour of the EAC specimens, and the applicability of the model was investigated. The research outcomes are expected to significantly improve the design and use of timber structural elements where resistance against blast loading is required.
