EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION METHOD OF PEGGED, MORTISE AND TENON JOINT

The paper focuses on the joints in traditional timber structure. These joints influences strength of buildings, to require sufficient performance. Combined bending, shear, compressive failure of the peg within the joint. At the same time to arise the deformed shape all members of this joint. The failure model is similar to that of the bolt for double shear connections. We have been using the called European yield Theory (EYT) for estimating yield load of single dowel joints with timber side members. So new proposed estimating method for allowable strength by failure mode and the new condition at contain of compressive failure of peg to use EYT. The hypothesis we proposed was confirmed the allowable strength by experiments.
