Ductility analysis of laminated timber beams of small section height
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and determine the applicability of the models that take into account the ductility of timber elements in bending. Beam elements whose span is many times higher than the height are experimentaly tested. In addition to the tested beam elements, paper presents the mechanical properties of the timber material and the results obtained by finite element method (numerical models). Numerical models are made in the software package Abaqus.
