    CHAPTER 7

    TIMBER ELEMENTS DESIGNCOMPOSED CROSS-SECTION ELEMENTS

    7.1. General design considerations

    In wood construction, because of the few kinds of wood types, composed cross-section

    elements are often used. Joints of wooden elements, excluding the glued ones, deform themselves

    when are subjected to varios actions. Displacements are produced between joined elements,

    allowing their deformation, somehow independently, and increasing the total deformation of the bar

    and reduces its rigidity. This phenomenon decreases the strength capacity of the composed section

    elements with respect to an equivalent simple section element. The deformation of flexible joint,

    and the failing of splices are very important in computations where the beam stiffness is taken into

    account, that means for bending and compression with buckling.

    For centrically tensioned members, for which beam stiffness do not influence the unit

    stresses, the strength capacity of the composed beam is the same as for a beam with equivalentsimple section.

    The computation of bars with built-up section becomes in all cases the computation of

    equivalent values of inertia moment, resistance modulus and slenderness coefficients, on the basis

    of some approximate formulas (resulting from exact solutions after a number of simplifications);

    making the computations available.

    7.2. Elements subjected to axial tension

    The tension capacity for every element i composing the cross-section is given by:

    RTti,net

    c

    ti,rmmART = (7.1)

    where: i,rT is tension capacity of the i element, in N;c

    tR - design tension strength of massive wood function of wood species, wood quality class

    and exploitation conditions of the structure, in N/mm2;

    Anet,i the gross area of the designed cross-section i, in mm2;

    mTt treatment coefficient for tension;

    mR load repartition coefficient with value 0,90.

    The capacity of composed elements subjected to tension is established through the

    summation of the capacities of the component elements if they have the same elasticity modulus:

    For the check of every element of the tensioned composed bar, the effective tension forceTef,i is established by dividing the total effective force Tef proportionally to the gross area of the

    element i.e.:=

    7.3. Elements subjected to centrically compression

    Compressed elements with composed cross-section can be:

    - package bars for which all elements are acted at their extremities (figure 7.1, a);

    - bars with continuous interior plates (figure 7.1, b) and bars with continuous exteriorplates (figure 7.1, c) for which the principal elements are acted only at their extremity.

    Continuous interior and exterior plates are secondary elements increasing element

    stiffness.
