Embedding tests parallel and perpendicular to the grain were conducted to
produce a database of embedding strength of wood for the design of dowel-type
joints. Dowel diameters were 8,12,16, and 20mm. Embedding strength was evaluated
by the 5% off-set method and a maximum load up to 5mm displacement according to
EN383. The embedding strength parallel to the grain evaluated by the former
method show... hiện toàn bộ
