Size effect on bending strength of glued laminated timber predicted by a numerical simulation concept including discrete cracking

The dimensions, particularly the depths, of glued laminated timber (GLT) beams are continuously increasing to realize, e.g., wide-span hall constructions or flexible office buildings. However, experimental investigations of large beams are unavailable because of the tremendous effort involved. Numer...
