Abstract:

Objective: In response to the differences between the mechanical property testing methods, testing environments, and wood structure design methods of imported glued laminated timber (GLT) and China's standard specifications, a study was conducted on the mechanical property testing of imported GLT. The typical loading characteristics and failure modes of various specimens were summarized, and the strength standard values were determined to provide reference for the determination of strength design values of imported GLT. Method: Taking the GL24h European spruce (Picea abies) GLT used in the main exhibition hall of Tianfu Agricultural Expo Park as the object, the loading characteristics and failure mode of its raw materials were explored through small clear specimen mechanical tests. Based on the improvement of the current standard method, the strength standard value and design value of GL24h were determined and compared with the European standard EN 14080: 2013 and the“Standard for design of Timber structures”(GB 50005—2017), respectively. Result: Research has shown that the characteristic value of radial compressive strength of GL24h provided by EN 14080: 2013 is 4.60% higher than the experimental value, while the longitudinal compressive strength is 20.27% lower, and the longitudinal tensile strength, bending strength, elastic modulus, and radial shear strength are all about 50% lower. The design value of longitudinal compressive strength, radial compressive strength, longitudinal tensile strength, bending strength, and radial shear strength of GL24h determined by GB 50005—2017 were 9% higher than that determined by the improved γR-VR envelope curve. Conclusion: When the load conditions where the timber structure building is located are known, a more accurate strength design values of imported timber can be calculated according to the reliability analysis results in the GB 50005—2017, combined with the actual load conditions. It is still necessary to further improve the method for determining the design value of strength of imported GLT.
