New Construction

Glubam is a new construction material and glubam bolted joints have been developed in modern bamboo structures. To observe the performance of bolted joint, two major groups of glubam-single-bolted-joint specimens with double steel side plates are tested. Bearing strength and failure mode are analyzed and discussed. It is shown that specimens with tension parallel to bamboo fiber always yield by shearing out and showed higher bearing strength as well as better ductility, while specimens with tension perpendicular to bamboo fiber will fail by net tension. Results of bearing strength are evaluated by the 5% off-set method. At the end, equations obtained from test data and analysis about yielding strength of glubam bolted joint was obtained for following study and project design.

The use of defense hole system allows the flow of the stresses to be redistributed by introducing auxiliary holes in the low stress area near the main hole. However, the question remains on the optimal configuration of the defense hole system for effective stress mitigation at the bolt-hole region and, hence, increasing the bearing capacity of particular composite bolted joints. This study presents the influence of defense hole system geometrical design on the stress reduction in a single-bolt, double-lap composite bolted joint. The nonlinear material behavior of the joint was simulated using ANSYS through a progressive failure model, considering the circumferential and radial stresses at bearing, shear-out, and net tension regions of the bolt-hole. It was found that the stress has been reduced between 2.3% and 6.1% for the narrow laminates over a range of E/ D ratios (1–5) with the benefits of the defense hole was clearly marked at DS = 2 D and DHD = 0.75 D. In contrast, for those of wider laminates, the stress reduction ranged from 1.9% to remarkably 18.6%.

There are various parameters for bolted joints used in so many industries. The main objective of this work was to investigate the influence of washer type as a bolting parameter on the bearing strength of bolted joints in laminated composites. Therefore, by using three different washer types; flat washer, spring washer and tooth lock washer, an experimental study was performed. Quasi-isotropic glass-fibre reinforced epoxy laminated composites were used in the study. Four different tightening torques ( T = 2, 3, 4, 5 Nm) were chosen for the bolted joints in the experiments, for each washer type. E/W ratio was chosen as 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 in order to investigate damage modes of composite samples. It was applied tensile test, through a centroidal axis, on each specimen. From these tests, load-displacement curves of the specimens were drawn. The maximum failure loads and bearing strengths of the bolted joints were obtained from the load-displacement curves. From the experimental results, it is noted that bearing strength of the specimens with flat washer is higher than the specimens with tooth lock and spring washer, respectively. Also, it is concluded that higher tightening torque increases the bearing strength, and E/W ratio should be determined as larger than 0.25 for a damage tolerant design in terms of bearing strength.

Efficient and accurate finite element (FE) modelling of bolted joints is essential for increasing confidence in the investigation of structural vibrations. However, modelling of bolted joints for the investigation is often found to be very challenging. This paper proposes an appropriate FE representation of bolted joints for the prediction of the dynamic behaviour of a bolted joint structure. Two different FE models of the bolted joint structure with two different FE element connectors, which are CBEAM and CBUSH, representing the bolted joints are developed. Modal updating is used to correlate the two FE models with the experimental model. The dynamic behaviour of the two FE models is compared with experimental modal analysis to evaluate and determine the most appropriate FE model of the bolted joint structure. The comparison reveals that the CBUSH element connectors based FE model has a greater capability in representing the bolted joints with 86 percent accuracy and greater efficiency in updating the model parameters. The proposed modelling technique will be useful in the modelling of a complex structure with a large number of bolted joints.

Abstract The development of wooden joints possessing high resistance performance has become an important issue for the construction of newer buildings. This study attempts to strengthen the lateral resistance of bolted joints using the previously reported plasticizing technique. This technique consists of two processing stages: incising the surface of the wood using an ultraviolet wavelength short-pulse laser and impregnating the resin into the incised area. This technique makes it possible to plasticize only a local part of the wood surface. Bolted joint specimens were assembled using plasticized wood around the bolt hole, and the lateral tests were conducted. Acrylic monomer and urethane prepolymer were used as the impregnating resins and their incision depths were set as 4 and 10 mm. When the lateral load acted parallel to the grain, changes in the lateral resistance characteristics were observed, especially for the stiffness and yield load. For example, when acryl was used, and the incision depth was 10 mm, an increment of 73% in the yield load was observed, as compared to the non-impregnated specimens. The specimen groups impregnated with acryl exhibited greater changes in their properties than those using urethane. When loaded perpendicular to the grain, an increase in properties were observed; however, these increments were lower than those of the groups loaded parallel to the grain.

Through the experiments of four concrete composite slabs under static loading to compare their flexural properties (deflection, bearing capacity, failure mode), this paper discusses the influence of composite slabs flexural behavior on different length of additional bars and sectional effective height. The results showed that they will improve the bearing capacity effectively by reasonably increasing the sectional effective height and controlling the length of additional bars.
