Abstract

This paper presents the results of static tests of non-reinforced and reinforced round timber bolted joints with slotted-in steel plates. In this article, a new approach to the reinforcement of round timber bolted joints is presented. Based on results from tension tests of timber bolted joint samples, reinforcement methods were proposed. From these, modified washers and boost with screws were chosen for further tension testing. Results were compared to unreinforced ones and rate of improvement established.
