Modern Moment Resisting Timber Connections - Theory and Numerical Modelling

The paper relates to innovative solutions of the moment resisting timber connections. Solutions based on traditional connectors (screws, rivets), and modern connectors (glued in rods, rigid inset) are presented on the basis of literature. Summary of a number of conclusions ensuing from the experimental studies is enclosedSpatial models called a “beam to beam” connection, based on the glued in bars were created. A comparative analysis of the models based on two types of the material: isotropic and orthotropic wood was done. Finite element model based on Abaqus is studied.
