Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Timber stmctures are a competitive solution when compared to steel and concrete stmctures, showing features and advantages that overcome their competitors: weight/strength ratio, rapid assembly, fire resistance and excellent performance in earthquake scenario, natural aesthetic attractiveness, and ecological rationality which leads to sustainable construction. The main goal of this experimental and numerical shidy was to evaluate, using tensile tests, the mechanical characteristics offrwo different wood species: Pine and Ash. For tensile test a total of twelve samples for each wood species were prepared, six of them were cut in the wood transverse to the grain, with dimensions equal to 190x50x9 mm, and the others six were cut in the wood parallel to the grain with the dimensions equal to 210x40x9 mm. A numerical simulation was also conducted in arder to assess the stress-strain behaviour of Pine and Ash woods.
