Load-Carrying Capacity of Hybrid Steel-Wood-Steel Dowel Connections in Double-Shear Under Fire Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The main objective of this work is to present a methodology to design (S-W-S) Steel-Wood- Steel connections in double shear, with internal dowel steel fasteners, in fire conditions. Analytical methodologies according Eurocodes were used to determine the load-carrying capacity of the connections. To analyse the load-carrying capacity, different wood densities and steel dowels diameters will be investigated. The number of dowels is not considerably affected by the wood density of the species. To predict the fire exposure, a thermal and transient numerical analysis was performed to obtain the temperature field results in all studied connections.
