.... To date, Johansen's yield equations have only been used at ambient temperatures. Embedment strength varies with temperature. Recent studies have proposed a tri-linear relationship for bolted connections in LVL and this research extends the investigation to determine if the model is accurate for other...

..., connected to double LVL (laminated veneer lumber) floor joists. They were tested over a 4 m span, subjected to a nominal design live load of 2.5 kPa. Both floors were subjected to the ISO 834 test fire for over 60 minutes. Two separate connection types were tested; concrete notches cut into the timber beams...

... a timber cross-section exposed to fire, and to develop a numerical model for the prediction of such a quantity. The paper reports the experimental-numerical comparisons in terms of temperature distribution within a timber member made from radiata pine LVL (laminated veneer lumber) exposed to fire...
