Abstract

The aim of this study is to establish the design method of a timber semi-rigid frame construction system composed with coupled glulam members jointed by screws with steel side plate and high-tensile bolts. In this paper, firstly we proposed the evaluation method for the out-of-plane bending characteristics of the coupled members with high joint properties on the end. Secondly, we conducted the full-scale out-of-plane bending test for the coupled glulam specimens to grasp the mechanical behaviors. We found that the experimental results showed good agreement with the calculations by the proposed method.
