Energy Distribution in Dowel-Type Joints in Timber Structures When Using Expansive Kits

This paper provides a study of the mechanical energy distribution in dowel-type joints in timber structures when using expansive kits. The compression caused by the expansive kit increases the friction between the dowel and the timber’s hole, opposing the longitudinal sliding that occurs during the...
