Abstract
The objective of this work is to determinate the influence of the scarf-jointed in the strength and the modulus of elasticity of the glued laminated timber beam. To determine this influence, several tests with the outer laminae with scarf-joint and the bevel with different inclinations has been made. The models were made of Parana Pine, Araucaria angustifolia. For the tests were performed three points bending. With the load values and the deflection at mid-span and by linear regression were determined the effective elastic modulus. The results indicate that the performance is reduced considerably in the presence of a scarf-joint in the external laminae and also the reduction is greater when the scarf angle increases.
