Geometry and joints are characteristic of An area and a period of time Carpenters and engineers knowledge: daring engineering ! Mind blowing timbre structures are not always new ! Université de Mons Carpentry joints… Carpentry joints connect timber elements, often without any dowel type fasteners. Forces are transferred within the joints via contact pressure and friction. The “smart” cutting of the joint by the carpenter create notches and contact surfaces between the connected members. Within the connections, there is an interaction in terms of stiffness and strength between the different pathways in which the forces are transferred. Eccentricities are inherent in this kind of connections ⇒ to be considered. Carpentry connections can be classified in « families » but there is a huge amount of carpentry joints… probably as much as major timber buildings and carpenters. Let’s have a look at some carpentry joints (non exhaustive)… Université de Mons Pinned Tenon and mortise (wooden pegs) Pin number and placement varied with the size of the member and the preferences of carpenter Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons If one piece (here the post) is wider than the the other, the tenon can be housed into it. The tenon can be centered or be flush with the layout face of the post. Through tenon with outside wedges (flatwise bending of the tenon) Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons From tenon and mortise joints to dovetails joints Wedged Dovetail Through Mortise and Tenon Partially housed wedged dovetail through mortise and tenon Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Through Mortise and Tenon with Dovetailed Shoulder Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Inverted lapped dovetail Lapped half-dovetail girder joint Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Notched beams (the simplest joint to craft and insert, and consequently the most common) Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Halved scarf with four pins (simplest to fashion). Halved and undersquinted scarf (to improve bending strength and resistance to seasoning twist) Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Halved and bladed scarf with pinned tenons Halved, bladed and cogged scarf (helps align the scarf and increases its bending strength against horizontal loads) Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Splayed scarf joint (the lapped surfaces are sloping). • The sloped, lapped portion is stopped before it feathers out to nothing. • Compared with the half-lap, shear strength is vastly improved by the sloped surface. Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Splayed, undersquinted and cogged scarf joint Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Splayed, Undersquinted and Wedges P. Lemlyn • Wedges act as a reinforcement. • The tensile capacity, torsion, and bending strength in both directions are greatly increased (cog). • The pins (and their position) increase the joint’s overall performance. • The butts need not be undersquinted. Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons The conscientious builder locates the scarf where bending forces are low... Splayed with Wedges and Multiple lapped surfaces Drawings: Sobon J. A Université de Mons Université de Mons What is it ? What about strength ? Design and reinforcement What about stiffness? Structural assessment of old timber structures Université de Mons Step joints (rafter and tie-beam joints or purlin plate) Université de Mons Step joints the slope of the notch must minimize the angle between the stresses and the grain direction for both connected elements (bisector) the depth of the notch (tv) should not exceed h/4 for skew angles α ≤ 50º and h/6 for skew angles α > 60º (Götz et al (1993), DIN 1052:2004 and CTE (2006)).

Branco et al (2011) Université de Mons Dovetail joints Université de Mons Rounded Dovetail joint Development thanks to CNC wood-processing machinery Esthetic Easy to use on site (plug and play joint) Université de Mons From experimental researches, Werner proposed a design guideline (Werner, 2002). ⇒ Since rounded dovetail joints can fail either by breaking of the joist or main beam, the two members are designed separately: , , !*+, !"# 2 . '( . 3 0,09. / ), !* /( 0 ( 2 (Vallée et al, 2010). Where A1 is the effective dovetail area. hmain, h1 and b1 are in mm and F is in kN, and: '( 4 0 tan . /( ( 2 Université de Mons ( 2 . /( ( 2 0 5. (² 8 Tannert proposed later on a design guideline that takes into account the size effect for timber strength in brittle failure (Tannert, 2008). As rounded dovetails joints are very similar to end notched beam supports, he proposed a modified design formula based on Eurocode 5 formula for notched beams with the definition of a specific reduction factor kv (EN 1995:2005). 1,5. 8 '( Université de Mons ), 3,6::² . '( , Reinforcement of rounded dovetails The failure is typically brittle, and occurs in the elastic range ⇒ reinforcements needed: tuning the geometry (to reduce stress concentrations) using additional reinforcements Reinforcement with self-tapping screws at an angle of 45° (left); reinforcement with an adhesive layer between joist and beam (middle); combination of self-tapping screws and adhesive layer (right). (Tannert 2012). Université de Mons Reinforcement with self tapping screws is very efficient (increase stiffness, capacity of connections perpendicular to the grain and produce a more ductile failure mode) In that case, when the performance is governed by the joist member, capacity can be estimated similar to the capacity of end notched beam supports (see Blass et al 2001). Consequently, screw withdrawal capacity Rax,k and tensile strength Ru,k dictate the capacity Vk of a beam support according to (DIN-1052 2004): 8; . min > 1,3. 3. 1 ?,; , >@,; /, // ² 2. 1 /, ³ / Where h is the beam height, he is the beam height minus the notch height and n is the number of screws. Université de Mons Tenon and mortise joints Université de Mons Tenon and mortise joint The bearing capacity of tapered tenon joints is a function of the angle of the connection, and length of the toe and mortise depth (Aman et al, 2008, Judd et al, 2012, Litos et al, 2012). Université de Mons If F is the normal force in the strut • the compressive force at the bottom surface is 8 sin D ∙ 1 EF ∙ cos D EF ∙ EI cos D 0 EF ∙ D ∙:∙ 1 EF ∙ EI • the compressive force at the front side is: J Université de Mons ∙ KL D 0 ∙:∙ D EI ∙ 8 m is the ratio of Q to F Additionally, μH is the coefficient of friction at the front side, μV the coefficient of friction at the bottom face, γ the connection angle, hs the height of the strut, ls the length of the strut and tx the distance between the bottom surface and the loading point of H. Université de Mons What is it ? What about strength ? Design and reinforcement What about stiffness? Structural assessment of old timber structures Université de Mons Old timber frameworks… Widespread Natural material (timber): Variability (in the same frame) Decay Structural complexity: Complexity of the global geometry and the connections. (more complex than masonries ?) Lack of technical data's : Sections (+ variations) Strength classes (visual on site strength grading) Joints (contact areas, nodes, cracks…) ⇒ Structural assessment and morpho-chronology: A good understanding of the history of the structure is necessary . + dendochronology Drawings P. Lemlyn Université de Mons Component method Prediction of the stiffness of the joint. For M, N and V : Definition of a model statically equivalent. Each component is an area where contact appears . A stiffness is associated to each component. Equivalent spring model ! Three areas of contact appear when the connection is bend (M+) ! The component 11’ is the pair of surfaces 1 and 1’, respectively belonging to timber elements A and B. ICR = peg Université de Mons This component is composed of two stiffnesses as 1 correspond to a compression parallel to grain for the element A and 1’ is perpendicular to the grain? It is now possible to compute the global stiffness: Stiffness of two surfaces in contact. If k refers to the component i,j : Fj F F δ k = δ j + δi = + i = k k j ki k k kk = 1 1 ∑ i , j ki Springs acting in series for any component (pair of surfaces in contact)! How to get this stiffness ? It is not directly E ! The stiffness is obtained by means of the theoretical deformation of an elastic half. Université de Mons Total rotational stiffness : Under the assumption of small rotations : ktot = M θ = ∑F z k k θ k = ∑k δ k k θ k zk = ∑k (z θ ) z k k k θ k = ∑ kk zk2 k The global rotational stiffness can easily be estimated from the geometry and the stiffness of all pairs of surfaces in contact…. Limitations of the method (strictly analytical) : The deformation of contact surface can not be estimated as it is an infinite half space of wood ! Université de Mons First enhancement of the method: Assumption of an infinite half space ? First method: FEM A cut factor Cm,E is defined with the help of elastic finite element models (FEM) using an orthotropic material, contact and different slenderness of contact areas Second method: additional length effect Komatsu (2009) proposed a pure analytical correction in his study on traditional Japanese mud shear wall. “Nuki” joint ⇒ “Nuki effect” ⇒ modified analytical model Université de Mons Equilibrium of forces and a additional length effect – Komatsu 2009 Moreover, Komatsu proposed a post yielding behaviour which allows the definition of a poly-linear M−θ relationship. Université de Mons Comparison of initial stiffness obtained from analytical and experimental results (Chang 2007) Université de Mons The comparison between this first enhanced model and experimentations is disappointing : M+ Stiffness [N.m/mr ad] M- FEM Component method Experime ntation FEM Component method Experimen tation 13.95 66.38 12.08 4.32 18.66 5.43 FEM and experimentation on real size connections give good results. Component method largely overestimate the stiffness Once again, observations made on real size tests (broken peg) suggest that the peg is not the center of rotation of the connection Université de Mons Second enhancement of the method: A geometrical research field is defined and an iterative process is implemented. Let’s call u, v and θ the displacements and rotation of any point into this field. For each supposed position of ICR, displacements of contact area are computed. From their stiffness it is possible to computed the contact forces : Fi = y2 ∫ y1 ki × δ i × dl = f ( u , v, θ ) li Resulting forces at the tenon is : V k11 N = k21 M k 31 k12 k22 k32 k13 u k23 × v k33 θ We finally solve this system and the ICR is then supposed to be the point for which the computed displacement is minimum. u ² + v² Université de Mons Université de Mons Why this focus on stiffness ? Université de Mons 1. Influence on the design of the joint Equivalent model The joint is statically indeterminate ! Université de Mons 2. Influence on the design of the whole structure Most of the time, connections are supposed to be moment free (hinges). This assumption : Simplifies the computations Is safe as it overestimate the bending moments and the deflections What is true only if we also assume that all connections have a sufficient capacity of deformation in rotation (without any major cracks) Most of the carpentry connections are not hinges ! Do we have to take care of that ? Statically indeterminate structure: the elements will carry loads in proportion to their relative stiffness Université de Mons ⇒ reduction of 50 % ! 7,6 m 7,96 m fortified castle of Ecaussinnes-Lalaing 5,6 m All are statically indeterminate frames: 7x 13,33 m Cathedral O-L of Tournai 6,35 m 8,9 m Abbatiale de la Paix-Dieu Université de Mons Château d’Ecaussinnes-Lalaing Borne inférieure Borne supérieure Hinge Université de Mons Carpent.
