“…Tests of timber splice connections using glued-in hardwood dowels [19] and glued-in rods [20,21] demonstrated the importance of incorporating the slip of connectors when predicting the height of the compression zone and the rotational stiffness. Moreover, it was observed in [20] that the stiffness of timber in compression is affected by deformation at end grains of the timber end faces.…”

In order to achieve larger spans of timber arch bridges, glulam massive timber sections must be spliced on-site by moment resisting and rotationally stiff joints. In this paper, a novel timber splice connection utilizing long threaded rods and grout-filled couplers is presented. Flexural characteristics of the splice joint were investigated by full-scale experimental tests and 3D finite element models. An analytical model is proposed for determining the moment capacity and the rotational stiffness of the splice connection. The experimentally measured efficiency of the splice connection with regard to moment capacity and rotational stiffness was 69 % and 66 %, respectively.

Glued-in rod connections for timber beams are increasingly being used, as they offer high strength and stiffness and a better appearance in comparison with traditional mechanical connections. First, a campaign of experimental tests on glued-in threaded steel rod joints subjected to monotonic bending moments was carried out, checking the effect of a confining system for the bars (transversal screws) and the different arrangement of the rods, or varying the mechanical characteristics of the steel of the bars. A negligible effect on joint ductility was observed using transversal screws whereas with a correct design and a proper choice of rod steel grade an important ductile behavior was achieved. The experiments were then extended to cyclic tests so to emphasize the cyclic performance of glued-in rod joints under bending moments. The aim was mainly to understand the joint structural response under cyclic loads, simulating the effects of seismic action. The test results indicate that the joint can initially develop a high dissipative capacity, but after a few cycles, the energy dissipation is considerably reduced by the occurrence of longitudinal splitting in the timber edge of the joining bars leading to lateral instability of the rods.

Spliced joints are used widely in retrofitting traditional timber structures, especially in heritage conservation applications where as much original material as possible needs to be retained. However, in practice this method is mainly applied based on experience, and there is a lack of understanding and quantification of the mechanical behaviour of retrofitted timber members. This paper presents an experimental study on the axial compression behaviour of splice-jointed timber columns. The splice joints are reinforced by steel jackets, steel jacket with adhesive, ear hoops, and CFRP wrapping, respectively. The performances and effect among these enhancement methods have been compared based on the failure modes and deformation, stiffness and strength measurements. The results show that the load-bearing capacity of the spliced columns reinforced with steel jacket and further enhanced by epoxy adhesive could recover about the full capacity of the reference columns. The load-bearing capacity of the retrofitted columns reinforced by
