Abstract

The accurate description of the structural behaviour of structural timber connections is still an open issue, which poses many unresolved challenges. The REACT research project engages in developing a reliable framework for the design of structural timber connections. Based on an extensive experimental campaign and novel multi-scale models, it will provide a sound reliability assessment of timber connections. This knowledge will stem from a multilevel analysis, ranging from the material up to the connection level, with a special focus on the interaction of timber with dowel-type fasteners. As a major contribution, the project will deliver information for design practice, allowing to make use of the obtained knowledge in a simple yet efficient way.
