Abstract: As an important part of the seismic design, the ductile behavior of the timber structures is becoming more and more of interest. With respect of the capability of the connections to form plastic hinges within timber structures, an axial loaded joint of dowel fasteners in composite timber beam is examined in test conducted during COST Action FP1004 in 2012. This article analyzes the test results and provides additional study of a classical yield theory model of the reinforced dowel connection to describe the expected ductile behavior.
Keywords: timber structures, dowel connection, ductility, selftapping screws, reinforcement
