Quasi-non-linear fracture mechanics analysis of splitting failure in moment-resisting dowel joints
Journal of Wood Science volume 51, pages 583–588 (2005)
Abstract
This article addresses the splitting failure of moment-resisting dowel-type fastener joints, in which the failure may be attributed to the perpendicular-to-grain loading of one single dowel located close to the end of a beam. A quasi-non-linear fracture mechanics model based on beam on elastic foundation theory is applied. A simple approximation suitable for practical design is also proposed. Model predictions of the influence of edge distances and end distances are compared with test results.
