Abstract(s)
The use of wood, as a structural material, continues to grow far beyond traditional application. Timber connections are considered critical due to their resistance and durability, mainly depend on the join design of the different structural elements. They are subjected to localized stresses and strains, and may expose the overall stability of the structure. For imposed thermal loads under fire conditions, it remains important to improve the knowledge of the connection behaviour.
